Best Answer

A convicted felon is banned from possessing a firearm under both Maine State Law, See Title 15 MRSA sec 393, and Federal Law, See Title 18 USC sec 922 (g) (1-9).

The only way that you can avoid this collateral consequence of a felony conviction in Maine is to get a Governor's pardon, but the process is difficult and they are not awarded if solely for the purpose to regain your right to possess firearms.

If you are a federally convicted felon there is no way.

As far as federal law is concerned a convicted felon is a convicted felon, period. And there is no provision in federal law for such a restoration.
