There is no such thing as the "law" of constructive possession. Constructive Poseession is a legal definition that means that you are close enough to something have control (or possess) it - just as you would if you actually had it on your person. For example: a felon who lives in a house where a gun is kept - even though he did not have it on his person - he is considered to be in "consltructive possession" of it. -OR- The passenger in a car in which drugs are found - even though he may not have them on his person - they are within his reach, and therefore, within his control/possession.

Can you own a handgun in your own home if you have a son who was convicted of a felony and was in prison for more and one year and now he lives in your home?

Well, yeah, I guess, but I would definitely suggest you keep it away from your son...Added: If you are otherwise lawfully qualified there is no prohibiton against YOUR owning or possessing a firearm.HOWEVER, the law prohibits YOUR SON from being anywhere he may have access to a firearm. It makes no difference WHERE you keep it in the residence, even if you claim it is locked in a safe. It is referred to in the law as "concurrent possession." If you wish to have your son reside with you, and keep him out of trouble with the law, you will have to make arrangements to keep your firearm somewhere else than in your home or anywhere else he may be around it.Expounded on the previous answer: There is also what is known at "constructive possession" which is different than concurrent possession, both of which MAY be defined differently in different jurisdictions. Generally speaking, constructive possession means the person has access and intent to possess the item. In SOME jurisdictions, a felon may reside in the same house where a firearm is present, as long as the felon does not have feasible access to it. However, having said that, it is not normally a good idea, because of the concurrent possession law.
