Not unless a court/jury finds that person GUILTY of the crime. Being charged is not the same as being convicted. Without being convicted, the person's record is clean. Meanwhile, if charged.... Get a lawyer! Say nothing until having talked with the lawyer.

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."
Can ex felon be charged for taking photo with handgun?
