Is it against the law for a convicted felon to live in a house that has a rifle in it?

Yes, if the convicted felon has access to the rifle, it is illegal.
Not exactly. The convicted felon cannot posses a firearm, but that does not mean everyone in the household is also punished and banned from possessing a firearm.

∙ 14y agoA convicted felon can not posess a firearm. In other words if you have access to the firearm in any way, shape or form you can not be there. In theory, if the firearm is locked and away and the convicted felon does not have a key to access it, he is not in posession. In practice however, if you are a convicted felon thinking about living with someone who keeps a firearm on the premesis DON'T DO IT!!! Even if the firearm is locked, a probation officer or police officer may not agree with this interpretation. Although you could probably ultimately win in court regarding this it will create significant expense in defending yourself. I would highly recommend that the firearm be kept off-premesis to remove any doubt.

∙ 13y agoUsing common sense, it is not a good idea. Otherwise, it depends on the conditions of your release in your state.
Another View:
Yes, it is against the law. Unless, the felon has had some of their firearm privileges restored by state law, it places the felon in what is known as CONCURRENT POSSESSION of the firearm. Meaning, that although he/she may not actually have it on their person, they are in such close proximity to it as to have it accessible to them, or exercise control over it.

∙ 8y agoA felon may not possess or have uncontrolled access to a firearm. Firearms can be in the house, but unless under direct control of someone, they need to be locked away, and the felon may not have access to the keys.

∙ 12y agoIt depends on local legislation. However it is not always known who is or is not a felon.
