NO, not unless she wishes to risk the arrest of her husband! A felon cannot be in "possession" of a firearm. 'Possession,' in the law, means ANYWHERE where he has access to it, or can exercise control over it. Having a firearm in the residence or in the car, or for that matter ANYWHERE he may be, is known as "concurrent possession," and is prohibited.
Usually a house is part of the divorce since it was bought while there was a marriage. This means that both of you have an interest in the house. You will have to settle with your husband what will happen with the house.
most, your house is heat regulated and have space to keep a dog
Yes, but the felon cannot have access to it.Additional: While the above answer is true in the broad sense, the spouse who owns the firearm may NEVER have it in their possession at any time the felon-spouse is in, or near, their presence.They may not keep it in the house - they may not keep it in a car - they may not carry it - etc - at any time the felon-spouse is present.To do so, places the felon-spouse in the unlawful/criminal position of being in "concurrent possession" of the weapon.Furthermore, if done in such a way that it can be proven that they "knowingly" did so the spouse could be charged as an accessory to supplying a firearm to convicted felon.
Put the house in your name. Don't have your husband/wife signature on any of the papers.
no! i say call the police and say to him what happend
as long as you are not a felon, yes
Yes, living with a felon does not change your rights, however, you cannot allow the felon to have access to or control over a firearm.Additional: Re: possessing the firearm - - you will not be able to keep the weapon in the same home or vehicle or anywhere where the felon could conceivably have access to it. The felon does not have to actually hold the weapon in their hands in order to "possess" it. Just being within the vicinity of it puts them in, what the law terms as, "constructive possession."
The general answer is yes, the spouse of a felon can owna gun as long as the felon has no access to it.
I hope not. ADDED: It IS LEGAL FOR YOU to be able to own a firearm, HOWEVER you had better keep it somewhere else. It is not lawful for a convicted felon to be in the same house with it. Court decisions have ruled that such a situation places the convicted felon in what is known as "concurrent possession" of the firearm and they can be charged with "Unlawful Possession of a Firearm."
you don't lose your rights, but your husband has to make a choice as do you. if he is going to be in the house with you , then the gun has to go. If you choose to keep the gun in the house, then Hubby cannot be in the house. So you both have some choices to think about. It maybe doesn't seem fair for you but hubby put the two of you in this situation so live without the gun or live without hubby. Your decision.
Provided you do not have a felony conviction and only your husband does, there is nothing preventing you from owning a gun. Keep in mind though that the interpretation many law enforcement agencies and prosecutors have of felony firearms possession laws is very loose, and if for some reason your husband is found by LEO's to be in close proximity to your gun, he could be charged.
A pretty simple one. Namely, to keep house, raise the children, and to be respectful of her husband.
