what about Ohio ?
technically no but who cares
AnswerIt depends upon the laws of the state in which the person resides. Some states have a time frame in which a convicted felon cannot be in possession or in the presence of someone who owns a firearm of any type. Other states make exceptions for a legally licensed firearm in the residence if it is for the purpose of sport or personal protection.Wiki User

∙ 15y agoWhat is meant by "visit?" How often is this "visit?" For how long a time does this "visit," or these "visits," last? A convicted felon may not own, or possess firearms, under ANY circumstance. If by "visiting" he is in close proximity to firearms, then he may be deemed to be in possession of them.

∙ 15y agoThe short answer is yes. It depends of course on one thing and one thing only: how the prosecutors in your district, city, township, county, and state interpret the law. In short, the prosecutors in most jurisdictions of the US interpret possession to mean close proximity to a weapon or ammunition. Whether or not that weapon/ammunition is accessible by the felon is of little matter other than to a competent defense attorney. In most cases, a felony firearm charge will not be the sole charge posted. In most cases the FFC will be a supplemental charge. Metaphorically speaking, the prosecutor will use it as another hammer in his bag with which to hit the felon. It is an easy prosecution that carries at minimum a five year sentence (ten in many states and if prosecuted at the federal level).

Can a felon live in a house in Alabama where someone else has a firearm?
No, being in such a situation places the felon in what is known in the law as "Concurrent Possession" of a firearm.
Can a ex-convict who is in a house where there is a gun owned by someone else can they still be charged?
If the ex-convict is a convicted felon - yes - they certainly can be charged. Even being in the same house as a firearm is considered being in "constructive possession" of the firearm.
If someone in your home is a felon is it still legal for you to own a gun?
I hope not. ADDED: It IS LEGAL FOR YOU to be able to own a firearm, HOWEVER you had better keep it somewhere else. It is not lawful for a convicted felon to be in the same house with it. Court decisions have ruled that such a situation places the convicted felon in what is known as "concurrent possession" of the firearm and they can be charged with "Unlawful Possession of a Firearm."
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.
Is it these are good or those are good?

Can a person be convicted if they knowingly allow a convicted felon to be around firearms?
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.
Can a corporation who paid property taxes on land owned by someone else for 25 years claim adverse possession?
No, payment of property taxes alone does not typically establish adverse possession. Adverse possession usually requires exclusive, continuous, open, and notorious use of the property without the owner's permission. Simply paying property taxes on another party's land does not meet these requirements.
Can a felon be around guns?
It depends on whether or not the terms and conditons of his probation or parole say "don't be around guns." But if that is not the case, then the federal law at issue here would be the one that says: Felons cannot POSSESS firearms or ammunition. Possession can be actual or constructive. But even "constructive possession" requires that the felon have both the intent and the ability to control what happens with the gun and to the gun. Just being around somebody else who carries a gun won't do it. But living in a house where somebody else has un-locked guns laying around where anybody can grab them and use them... that's too risky. Felons should not get in that kind of situation.
What if you didn't use their card but you got caught with it can you still go to jail?
What card? Was it stolen? If it was stolen and you had it in your possession, and you knew it was someone else's and not yours - whether you used it or not you are guilty of being in "possession of stolen property."
If a relationship is on and off in between you end up hooking up with someone else is that considered cheating?
