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.
