Felons and family

[Greg Jacobs]

Howdy; I am one of the lurkers in these parts but
I have recently been presented with an interesting question
that is somewhat outside my experience and I bet I can get some direction
here.  I understand, in a general sense, the loss of rights that
convicted felons are subject to, but what I cannot answer is the indirect
impact, if any, on the families of felons, or other third persons. 
My research takes me to dozens of websites and periodicals, etc., but
none of the research covers this question.  If there is a CFR
section dealing with it that you can point me to that would be most
helpful.
Simply put, the question is what happens when a convicted felon -
Federal, non-violent, let�s say an IRS or SEC type crime - takes up
residence with a family member, or even a friend, and that family member
or friend owns firearms?  For purposes of discussion, let us presume
that the entire sentence has been served, although that might not matter
at all for ATF regulatory purposes.
Specific examples could include the marriage of a felon to a gun owner,
or the moving in of a felon to the home of a parent or the reverse, a
parent moving in with a child, or even a couple commencing to live
together without the benefit of matrimony.  The case presented to me
is specifically the last example and, it appears, will result eventually
in the first example.  Into what position does the felony of the one
put the other, namely, the firearms owning
partner-soon-to-be-spouse?  Can the felon spouse accompany the
non-felon spouse to a shooting range and can the felon spouse be
permitted to shoot the spouse�s weapons?
I could use some direction to some varying state standards or statutes,
too, like in Arizona, Texas, and Florida.
Thanks.
