Provided you do not have a felony conviction and only your husband does, there is nothing preventing you from owning a gun.
Keep in mind though that the interpretation many law enforcement agencies and prosecutors have of felony firearms possession laws is very loose, and if for some reason your husband is found by LEO's to be in close proximity to your gun, he could be charged.

Can the wife of an ex felon own a gun?
That depends on the use of "ex-felon". If the husband was a convicted felon whose conviction was later overturned and their sentence reversed, then the husband is no longer a felon - that is an ex-felon. If the husband is a convicted felon who simply completed his sentence, that is not an ex-felon - that is a felon.In either case, the wife retains the right to own a firearm. However, doing so in the case of a felon husband may send her husband right back to prison - under federal law, a felon may not purchase, possess, or be given access to firearms. Having a firearm in the same home can be considered allowing a felon access to firearms, even if kept in a gun safe.

It depends on what you mean by "ex" felon. Generally speaking, there is no such thing as an ex felon.

This is something you have to request through a legal process, so if that has happened, the felon will know it.
