In general, yes. A Dishonorable Discharge will prevent a person from legally possessing a firearm under federal law. However, a BCD by itself will not. However, if a BCD was given due to a criminal act, and that act could have been punished by confinement for a year or more, or if the act was a crime of domestic violence, then those acts (and not the BCD) will bar possession of firearms.

Can you own a gun with a bcd?
Assuming that bcd is Bad Conduct Discharge, the answer is Maybe. A Bad Conduct Discharge ALONE does not prohibit possession of a firearm. Federal law (18 US Code 922) lists the conditions that WILL prohibit possessing a gun. Discharge from the military under Dishonorable conditions is one. However, a BCD is not a Dishonorable Discharge- it is a Discharge under other than Honorable conditions. HOWEVER- if the BCD resulted from a court martial finding of guilt, AND it was for a felony (punishable by a year or more in prison), then the CONVICTION will prohibit possessing a firearm.

You can't really "check online" but if you qualify to own a firearm anywhere in the U.S. you can own one in Florida. Basically, you have to be a non-felon and have disqualifying misdemeanors.
