If you're convicted of a felony, you become a felon. You're a felon while you're serving your sentence, and you remain a felon after you've served your sentence.
If you end up being acquitted of a felony crime you'd previously been convicted of, then you can legitimately be called an ex-felon, provided you don't have any other prior felony convictions on your record.
A lot of felons like to consider themselves ex-felons after prison, even though that's actually an ex-convict, and not an ex-felon. Once you're convicted of a felony, you're a felon. It's not to say that you're condemned to repeat it once you're paroled, but the label doesn't go away. An ex-felon would be someone convicted of a felony, but their conviction was later overturned.

No. The law against being a felon in possession of a firearm is a federal law.
What does it take for a exfelon to own a firearm?
The first question is whether they really are an "ex" felon, or not. Once you're convicted of a felony, you remain a felon, always and forever. The only way you could really be an "ex" felon is if the conviction was overturned. So, for a felon to have their firearms rights restored... well, if it's a federal felony, the chances are slim to none. If it's a state - but not a federal - felony, then it may be possible. You'll need a good lawyer, a good bit of money... and then still nothing is guaranteed.

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.
