What else can I help you with?
Can a felon posses a firearm in his house in Texas?
Absoutely not.
If someone in your home is a felon is it still legal for you to own a gun?
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."
Can a convicted felon live in the house if the owner has a registered firearm in the state of Maryland.?
Yes, but may not have access to the firearm (stored under lock and key that the felon has no access to)
Can a felon reside in a residence where someone posses a concealed weapon license?
The short answer is yes. The more detailed answer is, a felon cannot have access to or control over a firearm. Simply being in the vicinity of a firearm does not necessarily mean that the person has access to or control over the firearm. However, generally speaking, having a gun in a house where there is a felon is not a good idea. If you have a CCW but no gun in the residence, there is no problem.
Can a ex-convict who is in a house where there is a gun owned by someone else can they still be charged?
If the ex-convict is a convicted felon - yes - they certainly can be charged. Even being in the same house as a firearm is considered being in "constructive possession" of the firearm.
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.
Can a convicted felon use a bb gun to defend his house in Florida?
No, a felon may not be in possession of any firearm in Florida. This includes BB and dart guns.
Can you have a concealed handgun license and carry a gun if married to felon in PA?
In Pennsylvania, you do not need a licence to own a firearm, but somebody convicted of a crime would not be able to own a firearm or live in a house with one in it.
Is it illegal in the state of South Carolina for a convicted felon to live in a house were someone else owns a gun?
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.
Is a picture enough to convict a felon of firearm charge?
It is reason enough to get a search of the persons house and car etc.
Can I be charged as a felon in possession of a firearm if it is purchased and owned by my wife in our home?
No. A felon cannot live in the same house as a firearm. One of them has to go, or both of you may be prosecuted. Actually, that is not exactly correct. A felon cannot have access to a firearm (or more specifically, cannot have constructive possession). Constructive possession is loosely defined, based on several state and federal court cases, as having access and intent to possess an item, in this case, a firearm. So, if a felon lives with a non felon, the non felon can own and possess a firearm as long as the felon does not have access to it. This basically means that the non felon would have to keep the gun locked up at any times he or she does not have personal control over the gun.
What if a convicted felon stays the night and you own a gun he has his own house but was at mine and got charged with felon with a firearm?
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.
