no felon is allowed to posses a firearm......BUT you personally have knowledge of them being a felon.......if they were to get ahold of the weapon and harm you with it one they will go to prison for violating their felon "duties" and two you can also go to jail for knowing they were a felon == == == == == == == == == == Any felon is not allowed to own or posess a firearm. "Reasonable" is the key word with most law issues. If you keep your firearm away from the felon reasonably... (you have knowledge of his felon status, which makes you culpable if you negligently or recklessly mishandle or missecure your firearm in the house) Basically, you will need to take extra security steps in order to have a good chance to pass safely pass in a court of law.

∙ 15y agoNOT a good idea. It is a federal offense (USC, Title 18) for a convicted felon to own or "possess" a firearm of any type. To be "married to" or "live with" or "visit" or "rent" when a non-felon keeps firearms on the premises places you in "constructive" POSSESSION of the firearm. If the person (who may lawfully own the firearm) is aware of your status they too could be charged as an 'accessory' to the offense by keeping a weapon where you might reasonably be expected to be able to gain access to it.

∙ 15y agoNo. Either he will be unable to live there or the weapons will have to be removed from the residence. Federal law (USC, Title 18) states that convicted felons may not own or possess firearms and this situation fits the the legal term "possessing." The courts have ruled that being in the same home with a firearm fits this definition.

This can be a bit of a grey area... a felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms. Living in the same residence as someone who owns firearms - whether they're kept in a safe or not - is often considered the same as having access.
Is it illegal in the state of South Carolina for a convicted felon to live in a house were someone else owns a gun?
Yes it is unlawful for you to be anywhere around firearms regardless of WHO owns them. To be in the same place as a firearm places you in what the law calls "concurrent possession" of the firearm. You could be convicted of the possession and sentenced to prison ESPECIALLY if you are a federally convicted felon.

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.

Most convicted felons are not allowed to possess a firearm, ordinarily. If his felony conviction is for a non-violent offense, like embezzelment, it may be okay. Ordinarily if he has title to a firearm, he could be in big trouble. <><><> Under Federal law (18 USC 922) a convicted felon may not possess a firearm. If he already owns a gun, he may dispose of it by selling it, but he may not handle it himself while doing so.
Can you live with your boyfriend who owns a firearm if there is a restraining order against you?
As long as your boyfriend has a licence to keep a firearm, everything should be fine. But, I would make sure it is securely locked away, especially if there are children in the house as well.ANOTHER VIEW: If the provisions of your court order forbid you from "possessing" firearms, NO. Even being in the same vicinity as a firearm places you in what is known in the law as "constructive possession" of that firearm, which could place you in violation.
