Under GA law, 1-5 years. However, this is also a violation of FEDERAL law, which has it's own penalties, usually starting at 5 years.
To my knowledge, If you are a Convicted Felon then you are forbidden from owning/possessing a firearm in ALL states, not just one area. I admit I could be wrong about this, if anyone else has better information feel free to update this answer.
Jail
yes!
They do time.
no felon is allowed to posses a firearm......BUT you personally have knowledge of them being a felon.......if they were to get ahold of the weapon and harm you with it one they will go to prison for violating their felon "duties" and two you can also go to jail for knowing they were a felon == == == == == == == == == == Any felon is not allowed to own or posess a firearm. "Reasonable" is the key word with most law issues. If you keep your firearm away from the felon reasonably... (you have knowledge of his felon status, which makes you culpable if you negligently or recklessly mishandle or missecure your firearm in the house) Basically, you will need to take extra security steps in order to have a good chance to pass safely pass in a court of law.
he goes to jail
If unknowingly, that is not a crime.
Yes.
Yes, as long as he is not living with the wife. One person's criminal record has no legal consequences for that of another person not residing with them, regardless of their relationship to that person. Since it is illegal in Texas for a convicted felon to be in close proximity to a firearm, the husband would be in violation of the law for residing in a home that contained firearms.
A felon in possession of a firearm will face a new felony range charge. Punishment ranges from probation to up to ten years in jail.
Yes he's going to jail for a year, he is charged with possessing multiple unregistered fire-arms which is illegal for convicted felons.
It will depend entirely on the landlord or policy of the property. There are no state or federal laws that preclude a convicted felon from renting.
