If you have a felony and someone owes a gun in that house can you be charged?
You have gotten some blatantly incorrect answers to your question. As your question infers, it is unlawful under both state and federal laws in the US for a convicted felon to possess a firearm. The key legal term here is possession, which under the model penal code is defined as having physical custody or control over an object. This definition tends to imply that possessing a firearm entails the individual physically having the firearm on their person. However, the legal scope of possession is not limited to mere physical control or custody of the firearm by the convicted felon. In the scenario you describe -- being a felon and the occupant of a home where a firearm is kept -- you can most certainly be charged with possessing the firearm under the doctrine of constructive possession, which occurs when a person has knowledge of an object plus the ability to control the object, even when the person has no physical contact with it. Of course, it would have to be proved that you in fact knew a firearm was present in the house in order for a conviction to be lawfully adjudicated.
