As long as your wife doesn't have any disqualifying reasons, she can own a firearm. The problem is, that as a convicted felon, you cannot own, use or possess a firearm. It's not just ownership - it's the ``possession'' that could hurt you.
For those with more than one conviction, the court may restore firearms rights two years after completion of sentence for most felonies, or after 10 years for a serious felony (such as murder or sexual assault). For a person convicted of a “dangerous felony” firearms rights may only be restored by pardon.
A person may not vote, serve on a jury, obtain commercial driver's licenses, possess a gun or join the U.S. armed forces. Even if a person's right to carry a weapon is restored he/she will be permanently banned from receiving a concealed weapon's permit.
