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.

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.

The separated spouse of a convicted felon is not legally prohibited from purchasing a firearm. HOWEVER, if it is contemplated that the convicted felon may be anywhere around the firearm, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE IN THE SAME RESIDENCE, it will place the convicted felon in "concurrent possession" of that firearm and he may be arrested, charged, and imprisoned. ALSO: If the evidence suggests, the prosecution MAY try to prove that the separated spouse knowingly conspired to supply the availability of the firearm to the felon, and charge them as an accessory.

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.'

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.

How should a firearm be stored for safety?

Somewhere in which if there's little ones around that they can't reach it or even find it. It also should always be on safety to prevent any unwanted and accidental firing. Last thing someone wants is to have someone dead next to them. For a firearm, the safest place to store one would be in a place that is always locked up (such as a safe).
