Felons and Handguns?

[ratski]

OK, I know that a convicted felon can't buy a firearm, but what about living in a household that has a firearm?

At what point does it become an enforceable violation of the law or parole?

Can a wife claim that the firearms in the house are hers and that cover the situation?

Just curious.

Thanks

No

As soon as your PO finds out

No

felons cant be around a gun PERIOD. they cant vote, hunt, or get a decent job.

A felon cannot be in a position where he has access to firearms.

If they're in the house... no good.

There is an exception to this but my guess is that if the person qualified, we wouldn't be discussing it here.

The only exception that I can think of is pardon or expungement.

Felons are no longer full citizens. They're pretty well shunned in American society. Whether that's right or wrong is debatable, but whether you can be around one with a gun is not. You have to choose between the two.

If your spouse or parent that resides in the home is a peace officer by CLEET's definition.

I have had to sign a BATF waiver and consent from the Federal PO as the supervisor of an officer whose spouse was recently convicted of a felony.
