It depends on the circumstances and the question doesn't give any clues. If you are a convicted felon you are probably looking at hard time.

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.

It makes no difference who had the gun or who owned the gun or who signs any documents. In well set case law the courts, in past decisions, have ruled that If the convicted felon was anywhere in the vicinity of the firearm they were in CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION of the firearm. ALSO - See the following: FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: For unlawful possession of a firearm you are liable for the full penalty your particular state law calls for. You will hae to research the laws for youir particular state. FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS: It remains a FEDERAL felony offense for a federally convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm. The U.S. Criminal Code, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm in prison in some cases a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). At this time federally convicted felons have no solution to their firearm disqualification problems.

Had felony marijuana conviction over 12 years before can you purchase a hand gun?

There is no time limit on felony firearm possession laws. It's illegal for a convicted felon to be in possession of a firearm, at any time, for any reason, whether they own it or not. ADDED: FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: You must petition the court to request an expungement of your felony offense. If your request for expungement is granted and you are a resident of a state which completely or partially restores your "rights" (you will have to do research to learn if this applies to your state of residence), you will still remain subject to any restrictions that your state laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - privilege of holding elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). CAUTION: FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS: It remains a FEDERAL felony offense for a federally convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm. The United States Criminal Code, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm in some cases, a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). At the present time, federally convicted felons have no practical solution to their firearm disqualification problems.
