In general, no. However, if you found to be "a habitual user" of any controlled substance, that CAN be a disqualifier.
No. No convicted felon can ever lawfully be in possession of a firearm.
That you were in possession (see legal definition of this as it can be more than in your hand!) of a firearm (check what constitutes a "firearm" in Florida, it can vary) And you are a convicted fellon! No need to explain the latter!

Burglary , illegal possession of a firearm and larceny .
Depending on the state you live, it may. I am a resident of Florida, where there the only gun legislation is that of federal law. Federal law states you cannot possess a firearm if you are a convicted felon. Depending on your DWI or possession of marijuana charge, you may not be able to buy a gun.
In addition to California law that makes possession of a firearm by a convicted felon a STATE felony, Federal law prohibits possession, and requires a 5 year sentence, without probation or parole.
Please refer to RCW 9.41.040.
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.
Convicted felon in possession of a firearm is a FEDERAL offense and would be handled under the sentencing guidelines in effect in the federal court system NOT Illinois.
Yes, if you were convicted of it. It's a felony charge.
