In Montana is it legal for a non violent convicted felon to live with a police officer who has firearms in the residence?
It probably is. However, the remedy is two-fold: First,most state laws allow for the expunging of your felony, depending on what it is. I live in Washington State, and the rule there is 5 years for a class C felony, and 10 years for a class B felony. You can ask the courthouse in the county where you were convicted, what the rule is for that county/state. It is very inexpensive, and only requires a brief court appearance, just like a traffic ticket appearance. Then, the application for a firearm permit from the BATF, which I believe that you can download on line. I was convicted of a class B felony in 1987. After all fines were paid and all my time was done, I was given a certificate that stated "all civil rights have been restored" I think this, or the equivilent, given to the BATF should suffice.

Can felons of non violent crimes own a handgun in West Virginia?
A person convicted of ANY felony is prohibited from owning a firearm in ANY state- this is a Federal law. However, some persons that have completely discharged their sentences for a STATE crime MAY petition to have their civil rights restored by the state. For the process to do that, you need a West Virginia attorney to advise you. Possession of a firearm by a felon that has NOT had the right to possess a gun restored is a Federal felony, good for 5-10 years in a Federal prison. Really- see an attorney for this one- not WikiAnswers.
