Is it illegal to have a gun in your house?

Answer 1

The 2nd amendment to the Constitution grants everyone the right to bear arms (have a gun) for their personal protection, as well as the protection of your family, and your property. You do not need a gun permit to have a gun in your own house. Your gun does not have to be registered with the government either.

Actually, registration depends on where you are. There is no national registration, but a few individual states require it. CA, MA, IL, and IIRC, NY and NJ, and possibly a few others.

Answer 2

It depends on where you are referring to, but in the U.S. anyone that isn't a felon can wear a gun in their own home, with the exception of any city that has an outright gun ban and doesn't allow ownership. I think the only two are Chicago and D.C. although the D.C. gun ban was recently overturned by the Supreme Court.

Answer 3

In the U.S. generally, yes, you can own a handgun in your home as long as you aren't a felon or otherwise disqualified by federal law from owning a firearm. The possible exceptions are the city of Chicago and Washington DC. Those cities both have or had bans on handguns at one time, but due to a couple of court cases, may now have changed those laws. I haven't kept up with it recently, so someone else may be able to expound further.

Answer 4

Laws regarding gun ownership vary by location. In the United States, it is legal to own a gun in your house if you meet the legal requirements, such as passing a background check and obtaining the necessary permits. However, it is important to familiarize yourself with the specific gun laws in your area.
