In most states and under federal law felons who have completed their sentence can "APPLY" for the privilege to once again own a weapon. Some states require a good reason (IE private investigator or if its allowed for them to hold this position anymore law enforcement or their employer requires it) but as for me after one offense and it was 22 years after my release and no problems since I've been denied in Florida. so you do have the right to apply but. . . . !!!

When does a convicted felon regain their citizenship after release from prison and off of parole?

It depends on what you understand citizenship" to be.

Convicted felons are prohibited from owning or possessing firearms or ammunition by FEDERAL law (USC, Title 18), NOT state law.

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.

Can a convicted felon who has been pardoned gain right to posse a handgun?

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.
