Under what conditions would you allow me to own a firearm?

Whatever conditions the commander of your state-run militia allows.

Under what conditions would you allow me to carry it on my person in public?

See question 1.

Under what circumstance would you allow me to use it in self defense ?

If you're granted a firearm under the rules of your state militia, you should be able to use it if your life is threatened. Of course, one would hope that before you were granted a firearm, you were given proper training in how to solve problems without resorting to deadly force.

Last question; If you could ban private firearms ownership in the U.S. would you?

Wow, with that kind of power I would do a lot of things :evilgrin:. I don't know that a blanket ban would work, anymore than you know it wouldn't. What I'd like to see is the states given free reign to try a wider variety of gun policies.
