If you are convicted felon, there is no such pardon.
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.

The felon will need a lot of money, a very good lawyer and not be disappointed if the answer is no. A pardon does not mean all rights are restored.
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 pardoned felon did not have their conviction go away - they were simply "forgiven" for their offence. They still remain a conviction felon, and as such may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms.

Receive a pardon from the Governor. Generally speaking, a pardon gets a person out of jail, or relieves the person from other punishment, but it does not remove the felony from the persons record.
For a violation of US federal law, the remedy is a presidential pardon.
No. A pardon does not clear your record - it just means you've been excused. The conviction still stands, and you remain a convicted felon.
The laws of SOME states, may make a distinction between 'violent' and 'non-violent' felon offenders when they are making certain decisions or taking certain actions (i.e.: expungement - pardon - etc) but many opther states (and the federal criminal code) make no such distinction - a "felon" is a "felon."
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.
