The answer depends on the specific laws of the jurisdiction in question. In some places, it may be illegal for a person to knowingly allow a convicted felon to be in possession of firearms, and therefore, they could be subject to criminal charges and potentially convicted. However, in other jurisdictions, the laws might not hold someone responsible for another person's actions unless they actively participate in or aid the felon in obtaining firearms. It's crucial to consult local laws and regulations for a definitive answer.
Can a felon DUI-aggravated assault who happens to be a homeowner own a firearm for protection?
The key word here is "felon" - nothing else you stated in your question has any weight on the matter. As a felon, you may not own, possess, or be allowed access to firearms and/or ammunition. That is a matter of federal law, applicable to all states and territories of the US, and there are no exceptions to it.
Is it illegal in the state of South Carolina for a convicted felon to live in a house were someone else owns a gun?
Yes it is unlawful for you to be anywhere around firearms regardless of WHO owns them. To be in the same place as a firearm places you in what the law calls "concurrent possession" of the firearm. You could be convicted of the possession and sentenced to prison ESPECIALLY if you are a federally convicted felon.
Can a man own a rifle if his wife is a convicted felon?
Assuming we are talking about the United States, the short answer is no, it does not affect your ability to own one. However, having it in the same house may possibly be an issue. A felon cannot own or possess firearms, but if the felon lives in a house with a firearm, but absolutely cannot access it, he technically hasn't broken any law, but, it's possible that it could be a problem if some legal issue arose. The best thing to do might be to check with your local or state district attorney.
Can a felon carry a shotgun in SD?
This can only happen if the felon gets a pardon (very hard to get), Has no violent charges and ten years has passed sense they have been arrested or in trouble, and was charged with a 3rd degree felony. Anything else is a definite NO. Well that is not true, If you would actually have read up on SD laws you would know that your answer is incorrect. In SD you can hunt if you have a felony. Unless it is a felony that is violent, or a felony involving drugs. The people that say no to this are bias, and think once a felon always a felon.
If someone in your home is a felon is it still legal for you to own a gun?
I hope not. ADDED: It IS LEGAL FOR YOU to be able to own a firearm, HOWEVER you had better keep it somewhere else. It is not lawful for a convicted felon to be in the same house with it. Court decisions have ruled that such a situation places the convicted felon in what is known as "concurrent possession" of the firearm and they can be charged with "Unlawful Possession of a Firearm."
Can a ex-convict who is in a house where there is a gun owned by someone else can they still be charged?
If the ex-convict is a convicted felon - yes - they certainly can be charged. Even being in the same house as a firearm is considered being in "constructive possession" of the firearm.
Can a convicted felon get Medicaid in Texas?
Medicaid is a state-run program, so a felon would have to apply and be admitted to it like anyone else.
Can a felon be around guns?
It depends on whether or not the terms and conditons of his probation or parole say "don't be around guns." But if that is not the case, then the federal law at issue here would be the one that says: Felons cannot POSSESS firearms or ammunition. Possession can be actual or constructive. But even "constructive possession" requires that the felon have both the intent and the ability to control what happens with the gun and to the gun. Just being around somebody else who carries a gun won't do it. But living in a house where somebody else has un-locked guns laying around where anybody can grab them and use them... that's too risky. Felons should not get in that kind of situation.
