No, a felon may not be in possession of any firearm in Florida. This includes BB and dart guns.
NO
It may not be illegal for YOU to own it - but - if it is in the same house as the convicted felon he may be deemed to be "in possession" of it. A convicted felon is prohibited by federal law from owning or POSSESSING firearms (USC, Title 18). If it comes to it, you MIGHT be charged with "aiding and abetting."
You need to consult a lawyer familiar with firearms law.
Yes, however where he can by a house will depend on the type of conviction.
Yes, but may not have access to the firearm (stored under lock and key that the felon has no access to)
No, not in Tennessee nor anywhere else in the US. The federal law states that a convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or be given access to firearms. Living in a house with firearms present is considered them having access, whether it's kept locked up or not.
Violation of Probation is the least of your problems. You were in in what is known as "Concurrent Possession" of the firearms because they were secreted in your house. You stand a good chance of being charged as a Convicted Felon In Possession of Firearms.
The federal law clearly states that a convicted felon may not own, may not possess, and may not be permitted access to firearms. Whether or not you have a gun cabinet, it can be considered permitting them access for you to allow them to stay in your house, and you may be subject to prosecution, as well, should they get a hold of that firearm.
Getting a mortgage loan will be the problem, not the purchase. If you pay cash, then there is no legal reason that will stop you.
Since he is a convicted felon, possession of ANY gun will get Lil Wayne 5 years in the Big House.
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."
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.
