Be VERY careful - it's not only Tennessee you have to worry about. In addition to whatever penalty your state has for the firearms offense, it also remains a FEDERAL felony offense for a convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm. The United States Code, in some cases, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm a mandatory minimum fifteen (15) years in prison. Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). The addition of the other two offenses only makes it worse. The offender is looking at some SERIOUS time behind bars.

Yes, but the felon cannot have access to it.Additional: While the above answer is true in the broad sense, the spouse who owns the firearm may NEVER have it in their possession at any time the felon-spouse is in, or near, their presence.They may not keep it in the house - they may not keep it in a car - they may not carry it - etc - at any time the felon-spouse is present.To do so, places the felon-spouse in the unlawful/criminal position of being in "concurrent possession" of the weapon.Furthermore, if done in such a way that it can be proven that they "knowingly" did so the spouse could be charged as an accessory to supplying a firearm to convicted felon.
