Persons convicted of a felony
Active military members
Licensed hunters
Registered voters

The correct answer is: Persons convicted of a felony

In West Virginia, persons who have been convicted of a felony are prohibited from possessing a firearm. This is because a felony conviction typically indicates a serious criminal offense and the possession of a firearm could pose a danger to others. Option B, active military members, are actually allowed to possess firearms in West Virginia as long as they follow regulations and restrictions set by the military. Option C, licensed hunters, are also allowed to possess firearms in West Virginia while engaging in hunting activities. Option D, registered voters, do not have any restrictions on firearm possession. Therefore, the only correct answer is option A.
