Can a parolee live with an ex felon?

The answer, in most states is "yes," unless it's a standard or special condition of the probationer's terms of probation to avoid contact or association with convicted felons.

If there was a restriction, the Parole Officer would investigate the area and check the backgrounds of the person(s) at the residence you want to move/be released to, as well as the backgrounds of the neighbors/neighborhood. It is the Parole Officer that approves or denies your request to reside anywhere.

Just remember, that the Parole Office has a chain of command you can grieve through. If the decision is DOC related, even they have a chain of command. Ultimately it is the courts that can provide you relief with residency. The problem is that the USA has a high number of convicted felons and most are not registered. So how do you know you are moving into a place where the neighbors may have a conviction? For this reason most states do not have a restriction. This is also an issue with the workplace as well. If the employer is willing to hire you, they are willing to hire other felons as well. ---- In a like situation, felons may restricted from living in federal housing or NEAR federal housing. Those convicted of drug offenses may not live in or near Section-8 housing.

Those felons that may have to register may be required to not live near schools, day-care facility, or other places where children frequent or reside.

How to find a parolee out date?

If by "out date" you mean the date of release from prison, many states list this information on their Offender Tracking Systems or Inmate Information pages on the state's Department of Corrections website. You may need the DOC number of the person about whom you are inquiring, as well as other information. Some states, however, such as California require those who are seeking inmate or offender information to call. If by "out date" you are referring to the parolee's discharge date, the date he will be released from parole, if you have a legitimate reason for knowing, you may contact the parole office and making a formal inquiry. It is public information, but some related information may be considered private.

Can a ex-felon have an airgun?

Yes, But there are people answering wrong on this subject, Please don't answer if you do not know for sure, I am an expert on these laws, and the answer is yes in California, but there are states like New York and pennsilvania that view air rifles as guns, so check state laws. The federal government does not monitor muzzleloaders either, under federal laws air rifles are not considered firearms, because they do not use explosive powder which produces fire to propel a projectile from the gun, there are city laws in California that ban the sale of bb or pellet guns, and there are permits to purchase when shooting in certain counties. so check the local laws, you will not be arrested or charged with firearm possession for a bb gun, that's absurd
