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. By denying funding, Congress has effectively suspended the review of federally convicted felons' petitions for restoration of their firearms privileges.
