Can a convicted felon ride in a car with someone who has a registered gun n license?
Yes, but the firearm may not be present in the vehicle in any manner in which it may be accessible to the convicted felon.. in such an instance, it's best to err on the side of caution, and not have a firearm in that vehicle period while the convicted felon is in that vehicle.

Can a convicted felon ride in a car with a person who possess a firearm?
It is a federal crime for a convicted felon to either own or "POSSESS" a firearm, of ANY type, ANYwhere, for ANY reason. Being in close proximity to a firearm (as in riding in a vehicle with one) places the felon in "constructive" possession of the firearm, therefore, he would be in violation of the law. Furthermore, if the person with the firearm KNEW that the other person was a convicted felon they MIGHT be charged with 'aiding and abetting.'

Can your spouse own a firearm if you are a convicted felon in MD?
Yes, but the felon cannot have access to it.Additional: While the above answer is true in the broad sense, the spouse who owns the firearm may NEVER have it in their possession at any time the felon-spouse is in, or near, their presence.They may not keep it in the house - they may not keep it in a car - they may not carry it - etc - at any time the felon-spouse is present.To do so, places the felon-spouse in the unlawful/criminal position of being in "concurrent possession" of the weapon.Furthermore, if done in such a way that it can be proven that they "knowingly" did so the spouse could be charged as an accessory to supplying a firearm to convicted felon.

If you are a conviceted felon can your husband own a firearm and keep it in the home for protection if you live in Texas?
This is a situation where you would go wrong if you only looked at Texas law. Texas law lets a convicted felon possess a firearm on the premises where he lives once five years have elapsed from his release from prison or from parole, whichever is later. Texas Penal Code §46.04. However, federal law is much stricter. It generally prohibits a person convicted of a crime "punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year" from possessing a firearm. The test is the length of possible punishment, not whether the crime is called a misdemeanor or a felony. No exception is made for having a firearm at the home, no matter how long ago the conviction. 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). Also, Federal law makes it unlawful for anyone under indictment for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year to receive (possess) any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce. 18 U.S.C. § 922(n).

Can a felon be in a car if a firearm is in the car cased and unloaded in the state of Wisconsin if there is a person in the car that is able to have a gun even if the car is titled in the felons name?
Im not 100% sure. But in the case of hunting, as to what this is probably in regards to. If Someone is a felon, they cant posses any firearms. If someone in the car with that felon and the gun is registered to them then it shouldn't be a problem. I live in Wisconsin and as long as the gun is registered to that person who isn't a felon it wont be a problem. I hope. Other then that it will be fine. Hope this helped!

Typically, no a felon cannot sell a car at a dealership in California.
