Best Answer

(assuming you're in the U.S.) If you have any type of access to it, yes. If your roommate keeps it where you cannot possibly access it at any time, technically, you haven't broken any law, BUT that doesn't mean it couldn't ever be a problem. You should probably consult a local attorney familiar with firearms laws to get a better answer.

Can the person who has a firearm get in trouble with a felon who is staying with them?

If all gun laws have been adhered to, you would not get in trouble. However, the felon may, as it is illegal for felons to be anywhere near, or around firearms.


Can a felon in kansas still get a hunting license?

Possibly. Most license vendors do not have the facility to check a background, but a hunting license would not allow a felon to possess a firearm. They could/would still be arrested for that offense and obtaining a hunting license would actually show intent.


Can a felon become a criminal investigator?

First, one question.. do you have felony convictions on your record which have not been overturned? If the answer is yes, you are a felon - not a former felon, not an ex-felon. If you legitimately can call yourself an ex-felon, then yes. If you're still a felon, it's still possible - surely you've heard of Dog the Bounty Hunter?

Can an ex felon be around a gun?

That depends on whether we're talking about an actual ex-felon here, or if you're using the term for what is actually an ex-convict. An ex-felon would be someone who had been convicted of a felony, but for whom the conviction was later overturned and reverse. They are no longer a felon at that point. For someone who is convicted of a felony, and the judgment does not get overturned, they are a felon - the label does not go away.In the case of an actual ex-felon, who is no longer a felon by a reversal and overturning of their conviction, yes, they may be.In the case of an ex-convict, who still remains a felon, the answer is no. A felon may not purchase, possess, or be allowed access to firearms.

Does a convicted felon still have to pay taxes?

You would think that since a felon can't vote then the fortunate few who somehow were able to gain employment shouldn't have to pay taxes. But that would make sense and who wants anything to do with making sense in this country?


If a convicted felon is married to a person that has a firearm can the non feloney person get in trouble for bringing the gun near the convicted felon.?

Yes, quite possibly, for "aiding and abetting" the felon. The felon would be considered to be in "constructive possession" of the firearm (he has access to it at anytime). The spouse obviously knows that they are married to a felon - and knows that the felon should not be "in possession" of a firearm, yet owns it, and/or keeps it in the house anyway where the felon would have access to it. Im confused by this answer. A felon does not need to have a gun in the house to have access to it. Simply being a free American in America means he/she could access a gun at anytime anywhere. Infact almost all gun crimes are committed by a person who is in possession of a gun illegally and got the gun through an illegal manner, such as stolen.Isnt it illegal for a person to posess and/or use pot in the state of California? Unless he/she has a mediacl prescription which is now legal in California. So if the wife has a prescription and a legal right, but the husband does not and she brings in pot to the house, that he "Has Access" to but does not access it, would that not be aiding and abbetting as the previouse answer implies?
