Can a felon get their gun rights to own a gun in the state of Maine back?

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.
