Under federal law, the spouse of a felon is generally allowed to possess a firearm in the home, provided they themselves are not prohibited from owning a gun. However, if the presence of the firearm is intended to be accessible to the felon, it could lead to legal complications, as federal law prohibits felons from having access to firearms. It's essential for the spouse to understand both federal and state laws, as they may vary and could impose additional restrictions. Consulting with a legal expert is advisable for specific situations.
