Most likely YES. As with all such legal questions an experienced Criminal Attorney should be consulted first; even the local District Attorney office could offer a judgment. Generally, except for felony convictions in foreign countries, US felons are prohibited from possessing firearms. The extent of possession is the big question:
[excerpt] The crime of possession of a firearm by a felon has two elements-a prior domestic felony conviction and possession of a firearm. The statutes "makes no reference to intent and … a prosecutor is only required to show that the felon 'possessed' the firearm with knowledge that it was a firearm." Possession "'means that the defendant knowingly had actual physical control of a firearm.'" The standard jury instruction addressing "Possession" further explains that "an item is ... in a person's possession if it is in an area over which the person has control and the person intends to exercise control over the item." Possession "may be imputed when the [firearm] is found in a place immediately accessible to the accused and subject to his exclusive or joint dominion and control, provided that the accused has knowledge of the presence of the [firearm]." So proceed carefully.
Another View: Short answer: No, you cannot. You would be in what the law refers to as "constructive possession" of the weapon and subject to arrest and prosecution.
Yes. It's known in the law as "constructive" possession. You may not "own" it and you may not be "carrying" it, but it is readily acessible to you just as if you 'owned' or 'possessed' it.
No, they may not. It is known in the law as being "in concurrent possession" to be anywhere or around anyone who, themselves, may have legal access to one.
can a convicted felon's wife own a firearm that is not in his home
No--only someone who is convicted of a felony (one type of crime) is a felon.
yes, but the felon may not have access to the gun.
A convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms anywhere in the US.
No. Federal law prohibits a convicted felon from purchasing, possessing, or having access tofirearms and ammunition.
No. A convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or be given access to firearms.
The basic answer is no. The short answer is, a felon cannot have access to guns, and at a gun show, a felon would have access to guns, so it's illegal.
A convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms ANYWHERE in the United States as per federal law.
A felon can be "around" a person with a firearm as long as the felon doesn't own or possess the firearm, however, "possess" is subjective. If the felon can access the firearm, it might be considered possession if something were to happen.
This can be a bit of a grey area... a felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms. Living in the same residence as someone who owns firearms - whether they're kept in a safe or not - is often considered the same as having access.
No. If the firearm is in the same residence in which you live you are in "constructive possession" of it. It makes no difference where it is kept. PERIOD! It is HIGHLY doubtful anyone is going to believe that you don't have access to it, especially if you are in a "relationship" with the owner of the gun, who just happens to live with you.
No!! Wasted of Time!
