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.'

Another View: Absolutely NOT! Being in the same vehicle with a person who possesses a fiream places the felon in CONCURRENT POSSESSION of that firearm. They are in close enough proximity to it that they can access it and/or exercise conbtrol over it. It's as bad as if the felopn was cctually carrying it on their person. L-O-N-G time in prison.
