∙ 14y agoFelons cannot own or POSSESS firearms! YOU can own or possess as many firearms as you are legally entitled to - IT IS THE CONVICTED FELON WHO IS AT RISK, not you. Courts have ruled that a firearm in the same residence as a felon places the felon in "CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION" of the firearm. If the felon is going to continue to live there you should store your guns elsewhere.
