Here are answers from FAQ Farmers: * Absolutely not. A felon is not permitted to own a firearm, inherited or not. * It depends on the laws of the state in which the person resides and the terms of his or her release. Federal Code 18 U.S.C. 922(9)(1) only applies to those persons who have committed a federal felony, even if the conviction was suspended. The exception is the federal law will apply in all 50 states if the person is convicted of felony domestic assault. All states reserve the right to restore a convicted felon's rights to own firearms and other civil rights, Federal Code, 18 U.S.C. 921 (a)(20). -- Federal Law -- Federal law prohibits a felon from purchasing or owning firearms. A person convicted of a felony, even if he received probation or was awarded parole, can not legally own a firearm. Persons convicted of a felony can petition to have certain rights restored, including the right to own/purchase firearms, but that almost always requires some degree of pardon.

If they don't live with the felon, then yes. If they live with the felon, it's more complicated. Technically they can, but if they want to help the felon not break the law, it's probably best if they don't. A felon generally cannot have access to firearms, and having firearms in the same house is going to be interpreted as "access".
