This is another like many where it will depend on state and local guidelines. In the state of Texas for example a convicted felon may not possess any form of firearm within 5yrs release from a correctional institution/5 yrs release from parole. If said felon is living with a gunowner who keeps their firearms in the residence then not only can the felon be charged with possession of a firearm, but also the homeowner can be charged with conspiring to provide a convicted felon with illegal weapons (both of these charges are felonies). Also if the house is raided and drugs are found it can compound and possibly bring the charges to a federal offense. We just had an inmate removed from our custody by the feds for just this reason.

Actually you shouldn't but I have known it to happen. They probably have the right to own the guns but the felon doesn't and I have seen cases where the home plan was approved for a felon parolee to live where there were guns in a house but registered to someone else living there. It seems like it could be a catch 22 as the old saying goes because a felon isn't suppose to have firearms nor associate with those prone to deviant behavior. But throw in just good old hunting and that changes the the flavor. If the owner's of said weapons can prove nor criminal records and prove they hunt like old licenses and such, I've seen such living arrangements approved.

In Texas, no. You may be considered in care, custody, and control of the weapons.
A convicted felon can posess fire arms 5 years after the release from jail / prison or 5 years after the parole is up.....whichever one is later.

I would hope not. The reason you can't have guns is to protect the rest of the law abiding citizens. If you are living in a house with guns, to me, it is the same is if you have them.
Don't get me wrong, I am in favor of guns. I have many. But not in a place where children can get to them. Also, there are not felons in my house.

No. Plain and simple. Don't wait to be caught by a probation or parole officer or you'll do time.

sure you can, you can do anything you want as long as you don't get caught, but you will go to jail for a LONG time if you get caught.
