NOT a good idea! US Code, Title 18 stipulates that it is a federal offense for a convicted felon to ever own or "POSSESS" firearms of any type. To live in a residence where there are firearms puts the felon in what is known in the law as "constructive possession" of the firearms (i.e.- the felon would have ready access to them - which is exactly what the law is written to prevent). That is a violation of the law, and the person who owns the guns and who knowingly resides with a convicted felon could also be charged as an accessory to the offense.
