No, not legally. It is a FEDERAL felony offense for a convicted felon to own or possess a firearm. The United States Code, in some cases, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm a mandatory mimimum fifteen (15) years in prison. Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1).

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."

no felon is allowed to posses a firearm......BUT you personally have knowledge of them being a felon.......if they were to get ahold of the weapon and harm you with it one they will go to prison for violating their felon "duties" and two you can also go to jail for knowing they were a felon == == == == == == == == == == Any felon is not allowed to own or posess a firearm. "Reasonable" is the key word with most law issues. If you keep your firearm away from the felon reasonably... (you have knowledge of his felon status, which makes you culpable if you negligently or recklessly mishandle or missecure your firearm in the house) Basically, you will need to take extra security steps in order to have a good chance to pass safely pass in a court of law.
