If all gun laws have been adhered to, you would not get in trouble. However, the felon may, as it is illegal for felons to be anywhere near, or around firearms.

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.

You are a convicted felon may your wife own a firearm in the home?
The answer is, it depends. In the United States, generally speaking, a felon cannot legally own or possess a firearm. If the felon has absolutely no access to the firearm, he hasn't techincally broken any law, but if there were some trouble and police came into the home and discovered the firearm, or if the firearm was discovered in some other way, the local DA might try to say the felon had access to the firearm because it was in the home. That has happened here a few times. Additionally, there may be state/local laws specifically prohibiting firearms in a home with a felon.

Can a convicted felon ride in a car with a person who possess a firearm?
It is a federal crime for a convicted felon to either own or "POSSESS" a firearm, of ANY type, ANYwhere, for ANY reason. Being in close proximity to a firearm (as in riding in a vehicle with one) places the felon in "constructive" possession of the firearm, therefore, he would be in violation of the law. Furthermore, if the person with the firearm KNEW that the other person was a convicted felon they MIGHT be charged with 'aiding and abetting.'
What if the Felon in possession of firearm was attempting suicide?
Then I would imagine that there would be several reasons to hold the person involved.

The person had to have possession of the firearm to attempt suicide with it.

Can a person be convicted if they knowingly allow a convicted felon to be around firearms?
The answer depends on the specific laws of the jurisdiction in question. In some places, it may be illegal for a person to knowingly allow a convicted felon to be in possession of firearms, and therefore, they could be subject to criminal charges and potentially convicted. However, in other jurisdictions, the laws might not hold someone responsible for another person's actions unless they actively participate in or aid the felon in obtaining firearms. It's crucial to consult local laws and regulations for a definitive answer.
