you would have to have some personal info and pay for a criminal background
Extremely. It is a class A felony to knowingly arm a felon.
No--only someone who is convicted of a felony (one type of crime) is a felon.
You are only that which is in a database. They search for your name in CPIC, Canadian Police Information Centre and that will tell them if you are a felon.
The answer is sort of complicated. Most people will tell you "no" but that actually isn't correct. Most people say that felons can't "be around" guns, and that isn't exactly correct either. Based on statutes and case law, a felon cannot have constructive possession of a gun. What that means, basically, in order for a crime to have been committed, a felon must have access to AND desire to control a weapon. If a felon is in a house that has a gun, but the gun is locked up where the felon cannot conceivably access it, techincally no crime has been committed. Now, you will probably have someone tell you they are a cop and that they will arrest a felon under these circumstances. The answer to that is, a cop can (basically) arrest anyone for any reason, and at the moment of arrest, there's not much you can do. What matters in that case is what a prosecutor can prove or what you can disprove later in court.
They can tell you a convicted felon that is not related to you cannot live with you.

That depends on whether we're talking about an actual ex-felon here, or if you're using the term for what is actually an ex-convict. An ex-felon would be someone who had been convicted of a felony, but for whom the conviction was later overturned and reverse. They are no longer a felon at that point. For someone who is convicted of a felony, and the judgment does not get overturned, they are a felon - the label does not go away.In the case of an actual ex-felon, who is no longer a felon by a reversal and overturning of their conviction, yes, they may be.In the case of an ex-convict, who still remains a felon, the answer is no. A felon may not purchase, possess, or be allowed access to firearms.
Try an alarm system, or a knife, baseball bat, or other weapon. The other answer is, if someone is a felon, he brought it on himself.
I know that a felon can NOT own a gun but is there any problem with a felon being around someone who has a gun?
No, being in such a situation places the felon in what is known in the law as "Concurrent Possession" of a firearm.
