Can a felon live in a house with a gun in Ky?
No. Not a good idea! US Code, Title 18 stipulates that it is a federal offense for a convicted felon to ever own or "POSSESS" firearms of any type. To live in a residence where there are firearms puts the felon in what is known in the law as "constructive possession" of the firearms (i.e.- the felon would have ready access to them - which is exactly what the law is written to prevent). That is a violation of the law, and the person who owns the guns and who knowingly resides with a convicted felon could also be charged as an accessory to the offense.

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.
