[QUOTE="cmhbob, post: 1743932, member: 20220"] Uncle JB should weigh in soon, but as I understand recent federal cases, she can have the gun in the house, but it needs to be secured so he can't possess it, either literally or constructively. That is, if it's there and not on her body, it needs to be secured in some way that he can't access it, like a key that she maintains possession of, or a combination that he doesn't know. She can't leave it in her purse and elave teh purse lying around where he can get at it. Constructive possession is what typically bites felons in the ass. It means there's a gun in the house that they [I]could[/I] access if they wanted to. Don't know about how it affects the SDA. [/QUOTE]
