The basic short answer is yes, the spouse can own a gun. There is nothing in the law that prohibits the spouse of a felon from owing a gun, however, the problems arise when or if the person that is the felon has any reasonable access to the gun.

∙ 13y agoThat depends on whether you really are an "ex"-felon, or a felon who doesn't seem to be aware of the difference.
Let's say you get convicted of a felony crime. Somewhere down the road, new evidence surfaces which exonerates you of the crime, and you get acquitted. When your felony conviction is overturned, then you become an ex-felon, and only if it's overturned - a pardon does not overturn your conviction. Those people will have their firearms rights restored.
Now let's say you're convicted for a felony. You serve your sentence, and your conviction is overturned. While you're in prison, you're a felon. When you get out of prison, guess what? You're still a felon, and under FEDERAL law - which applies not only to Nevada, but to the whole of the United States - a felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms.
