If you are convicted felon, there is no such pardon.
yes
If the felon has received a PARDON, that is the same as if they were not convicted, and they may possess a firearm. But be sure you mean pardon, and not probation, parole, or any other term.
No. A pardon will not suffice. If you are eligible for it to occur, you must get your record expunged. Even then, not all states will restore felons' gun rights to them. NOTE: If you are a convicted FEDERAL felon, you cannot get your gun rights restored. Currently there is no mechanism in place for this to occur.
In Kentucky, a convicted felon can serve on a school board only if they have had their voting rights restored. Typically, individuals convicted of certain felonies lose their right to vote and hold public office. However, the restoration of these rights can occur through a pardon from the governor or a specific process for certain offenses. Therefore, a felon must ensure their rights are restored before being eligible to serve on a school board.
In New Mexico, yes. The Governor has the power to pardon anyone convicted of any offense (under state law) except treason or in impeachment cases.

You can always ask for a pardon. Your odds might not look at that great, but all you have to do to ask a pardon is to write a letter.
No. A "pardon" means that only his sentence has been pardoned. it does NOT mean that his crime or offense is wiped clean. He is still a convicted felon, just as if he had served the full term of his sentence in prison. As a convicted felon he may never own, or be in possession of, firearms.
For a violation of US federal law, the remedy is a presidential pardon.
