Not necessarily - if your state returned those other two 'rights' to you - - if firearm possession was also included, the documents should say so specifically! Without that SPECIFIC permission you cannot assume your firearms rights were restored. One of the reasons may be: IF you are a convicted FEDERAL felon, you will never regain firarms rights. The US Code currently has no method by which federal felons can regain their firearms rights.

Can a convicted felon who has been pardoned gain right to posse a handgun?
No. A "pardon" means that only his sentence has been pardoned. it does NOT mean that his crime or offense is wiped clean. He is still a convicted felon, just as if he had served the full term of his sentence in prison. As a convicted felon he may never own, or be in possession of, firearms.

Yes, but what do you mean by felon? Someone convicted of a felony 10 years ago that has completed their sentence is still a convicted felon. There is no law forbidding them to drink. Someone on active probation/parole can drink unless they are specifically ordered not to drink. A positive urinalysis for alcohol is not a violation unless they are ordered not to drink.

Can an ex-felon in California ever own a firearm?
Well, explain what you mean by "ex-felon". Were they convicted, and then acquitted of the charges later on? Because if they weren't, then they're not an "ex-felon" by any means - they are, and will always remain, a felon. Under federal law (that means, it applies to every state and territory of the United States), a felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to a firearm. Now, if they were later found to not be guilty of the crime they were convicted of, and were acquitted, then their rights would be restored.
What is the difference between a felon and a x felon?
A felon is someone who committed a felony(More serious crime) An ex felon is someone who has finished parole and is back in society. Sorry, that is incorrect. "Ex-felon" is a grossly, almost always misused term. A person who was in prison on felony charges but is now out of prison is still a felon. The only way to be an ex-felon is to have been acquitted of the charges. I should also add that an expungement does not make you an ex-felon either. An expungement simply means the felony is no longer on your PUBLIC record. Also, a felon can sometimes have his rights restored, but that doesn't make you an ex-felon either.
