Best Answer

It depends, and there are two parts to the answer.

Generally speaking, felons cannot own or even possess handguns, and no state will issue handgun permits to felons.

UNLESS:

The felon has had his or her rights restored. In that case, yes, it is possible for a felon to obtain a gun permit.

Can an ex-felon who was a first time offender and have paid his debt to society own a handgun anywhere in the US?

Well, to start, there is really no such thing as an ex-felon. You've either never been a felon, or you are a felon. "Out of prison" does not mean "ex-felon." A felon can sometimes, under some circumstances, have his rights restored. In that case, yes, the felon can own a handgun. If his rights have not been restored, no.
