Not in the US. This is in violation of Title 18, US Code, Section 922. It became part of the 1968 Gun Control Act.
It is having a firearm under your control when there is a law that says you cannot. It may be that you have it physically in reach, or that you control access to it (have the keys to a safe)
Possession generally means connected to the person, or under their immediate control. If I have a firearm in a backpack, I am not touching it, but it is under my control.
No, but you need to be the legal owner of that firearm.
I'm trying to figure out the same thing lol... :\
Yes. The felon may not have access to the firearm- it must remain under the control of the bodyguard.

To deprive people of the right to defend themselves with a firearm.
You have gotten some blatantly incorrect answers to your question. As your question infers, it is unlawful under both state and federal laws in the US for a convicted felon to possess a firearm. The key legal term here is possession, which under the model penal code is defined as having physical custody or control over an object. This definition tends to imply that possessing a firearm entails the individual physically having the firearm on their person. However, the legal scope of possession is not limited to mere physical control or custody of the firearm by the convicted felon. In the scenario you describe -- being a felon and the occupant of a home where a firearm is kept -- you can most certainly be charged with possessing the firearm under the doctrine of constructive possession, which occurs when a person has knowledge of an object plus the ability to control the object, even when the person has no physical contact with it. Of course, it would have to be proved that you in fact knew a firearm was present in the house in order for a conviction to be lawfully adjudicated.
