YES
The basic answer is, not legally. A felon cannot legally own or possess a handgun.
You need to consult a lawyer

No
Under federal law, a felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms. Period. End of story. This blankets ALL states and territorial possessions of the United States.

The Tazer
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.

No felon can buy, posess, or live in a house or dwelling where firearms are present. Furthermore if a non-felon buys a firearm for a felon as a gift or to cover for them because they cannot pass the 4473 background check they are aiding a felon and punishable by the same prison sentence. The standard sentence for felony possesion of a firearm is 10 years in a federal prison. But that is rarely handed out. However it would greatly benefit the U.S. if it did hand out this punishment. However, to clarify part of the answer, the spouse of a felon can own a gun, as long as the spouse can otherwise legally own the gun. However, the gun cannot be stored anywhere the felon could possibly have access to it.
Your question is a complicated one. Although 18 U.S.C. s. 921(a)(3) (2012) seems to be all inclusive as to what are weapons, and every person in every state is subject to that federal law, if you live in Maine, a section of the Maine statutes allows a felon to apply for a special permit to use a muzzleloader, crossbow or bow and arrow for hunting purposes only. This special permit information came from the Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Office.
