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.
