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.

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.


Can a separated spouse of a convicted felon purchase a firearm in the state of oklhoma?

The separated spouse of a convicted felon is not legally prohibited from purchasing a firearm. HOWEVER, if it is contemplated that the convicted felon may be anywhere around the firearm, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE IN THE SAME RESIDENCE, it will place the convicted felon in "concurrent possession" of that firearm and he may be arrested, charged, and imprisoned. ALSO: If the evidence suggests, the prosecution MAY try to prove that the separated spouse knowingly conspired to supply the availability of the firearm to the felon, and charge them as an accessory.

Can a convicted felon live with someone who owns a firearm in Arkansas?

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.


If you have a felony can you live with someone who owns a firearm?

no felon is allowed to posses a firearm......BUT you personally have knowledge of them being a felon.......if they were to get ahold of the weapon and harm you with it one they will go to prison for violating their felon "duties" and two you can also go to jail for knowing they were a felon == == == == == == == == == == Any felon is not allowed to own or posess a firearm. "Reasonable" is the key word with most law issues. If you keep your firearm away from the felon reasonably... (you have knowledge of his felon status, which makes you culpable if you negligently or recklessly mishandle or missecure your firearm in the house) Basically, you will need to take extra security steps in order to have a good chance to pass safely pass in a court of law.


Can a convicted felon that is on probation live with someone that has a gun in a gun safe?

No. If the firearm is in the same residence in which you live you are in "constructive possession" of it. It makes no difference where it is kept. PERIOD! No one is going to believe that you don't have access to it, especially if you are in a "relationship" with the owner of the gun, who just happens to live with you.


In Florida can a convicted felon be around someone who owns a firearm?

A felon can be "around" a person with a firearm as long as the felon doesn't own or possess the firearm, however, "possess" is subjective. If the felon can access the firearm, it might be considered possession if something were to happen.
