It's quite possible that some jurisdictions will have laws addressing this - but that is why employers are so diligent in checking criminal backgrounds - to avoid this type of possible conflict.
Some states may have laws disallowing it, but in general, yes, the wife of a felon can have a firearm as long as the firearm is kept where the felon cannot access it. Seeing I live in Alabama this is the state i need the laws for
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.
That depends on the use of "ex-felon". If the husband was a convicted felon whose conviction was later overturned and their sentence reversed, then the husband is no longer a felon - that is an ex-felon. If the husband is a convicted felon who simply completed his sentence, that is not an ex-felon - that is a felon.In either case, the wife retains the right to own a firearm. However, doing so in the case of a felon husband may send her husband right back to prison - under federal law, a felon may not purchase, possess, or be given access to firearms. Having a firearm in the same home can be considered allowing a felon access to firearms, even if kept in a gun safe.
Typically, no. While the one family member being a felon doesn't impede on the right of other family members to possess a firearm, the felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to a firearm. Even if the firearms are kept locked up in a safe which the convicted felon does not have the means to get into, their proximity is considered to be them having access to firearms.
This can be a bit of a grey area... a felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms. Living in the same residence as someone who owns firearms - whether they're kept in a safe or not - is often considered the same as having access.
Yes. Felon may not have access to the combination or keys.
Only if absolutely NO ONE else knows about it. Otherwise it's totally illegal. Actually, it's illegal either way. Generally speaking, a convicted felon cannot have access to or control over a gun at all.
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.
You are not prohibited from owning firearms. However, there's a classic Catch-22 here - a convicted felon is not only prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms, but also from having access to them. If you have one in the home, whether it's kept locked up or not, he will be considered to have access to firearms.
You will have to do your own research on this,FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: If you are a resident of a state which completely or partially restores your "rights" (you will have to do research to learn if this applies to your state), you will still remain subject to any restrictions that your state laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). CAUTION: FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS: It remains a FEDERAL felony for a federally convicted felon to EVER own or possess a firearm. The U.S. Criminal Code, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison in some cases (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). At this time federally convicted felons have no solution to their firearm disqualification.
Felon = Federally prohibited from possessing a firearm. It is considered illegal in every state for a convicted felon to be in possession of a firearm. By definition, a firearm is a weapon that is designed to expel a projectile by the action of smokeless or black powder. A felony firearm charge can also be brought against convicted felon who is found in possession of a firearm, regardless of the intended or actual use of the weapon. The offense level for this type of felony firearm crime also varies by state but is greater when the gun is loaded, kept or used unlawfully. The laws governing the penalties for felony firearm crimes vary by state and the specific circumstances of the crime. A person can also be charged in a felony firearm case when they knowingly purchase a firearm for a felon, an offense called "straw" purchasing. It is also a felony firearm crime to purchase, or otherwise handle, a firearm with the intent of furnishing it to a convicted felon.
