What is an ex-felon?
One who has been previously convicted of a crime that carried a sentence of prison incarceration. Actually, the only way to be an ex-felon is to have been convicted, and then acquitted.

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.
What is the difference between a felon and a x felon?
A felon is someone who committed a felony(More serious crime) An ex felon is someone who has finished parole and is back in society. Sorry, that is incorrect. "Ex-felon" is a grossly, almost always misused term. A person who was in prison on felony charges but is now out of prison is still a felon. The only way to be an ex-felon is to have been acquitted of the charges. I should also add that an expungement does not make you an ex-felon either. An expungement simply means the felony is no longer on your PUBLIC record. Also, a felon can sometimes have his rights restored, but that doesn't make you an ex-felon either.

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.
