Your family members could, however, they would have to ensure that you had no access to them, period.

An Amplified View: Your family members may legally own firearms, they just cannot be kept anywhere where you could have access to them.

They may NOT be carried, kept, or stored ANYWHERE in their residence, business, or vehicle where you might conceivably have access to them.

This would place you in what is known in the law as "constructive possession" of the weapon for which you could be charged, convicted and imprisoned. Moreover, if it could be proven that your relatives KNEW you were a convicted felon not allowed to possess firearms, they, too, could be charged for "aiding and abetting" your access to them.

Bottom Line: STAY AWAY FROM FIREARMS under ANY pretext!

Can a felon be in a car if a firearm is in the car cased and unloaded in the state of Wisconsin if there is a person in the car that is able to have a gun even if the car is titled in the felons name?

Im not 100% sure. But in the case of hunting, as to what this is probably in regards to. If Someone is a felon, they cant posses any firearms. If someone in the car with that felon and the gun is registered to them then it shouldn't be a problem. I live in Wisconsin and as long as the gun is registered to that person who isn't a felon it wont be a problem. I hope. Other then that it will be fine. Hope this helped!


If a convicted felon is married to a person that has a firearm can the non feloney person get in trouble for bringing the gun near the convicted felon.?

Yes, quite possibly, for "aiding and abetting" the felon. The felon would be considered to be in "constructive possession" of the firearm (he has access to it at anytime). The spouse obviously knows that they are married to a felon - and knows that the felon should not be "in possession" of a firearm, yet owns it, and/or keeps it in the house anyway where the felon would have access to it. Im confused by this answer. A felon does not need to have a gun in the house to have access to it. Simply being a free American in America means he/she could access a gun at anytime anywhere. Infact almost all gun crimes are committed by a person who is in possession of a gun illegally and got the gun through an illegal manner, such as stolen.Isnt it illegal for a person to posess and/or use pot in the state of California? Unless he/she has a mediacl prescription which is now legal in California. So if the wife has a prescription and a legal right, but the husband does not and she brings in pot to the house, that he "Has Access" to but does not access it, would that not be aiding and abbetting as the previouse answer implies?
