A convicted felon may not possess a firearm in ANY US state. This is governed by Federal law, and applies in every state. Law has existed since 1968.

No. Once you are a felon, you can no longer own a handgun in any U.S. state.

You are a convicted felon may your wife own a firearm in the home?

The answer is, it depends. In the United States, generally speaking, a felon cannot legally own or possess a firearm. If the felon has absolutely no access to the firearm, he hasn't techincally broken any law, but if there were some trouble and police came into the home and discovered the firearm, or if the firearm was discovered in some other way, the local DA might try to say the felon had access to the firearm because it was in the home. That has happened here a few times. Additionally, there may be state/local laws specifically prohibiting firearms in a home with a felon.
