RE: Felons and family
As a retired Florida investigator who worked possession by felon casees and also worked with ATF on such cases...
We would encounter such situations where this question would appear. We would strongly counsel the family to have a locked storage for their firearms which the felon could not access. Anything short would leave the felon in a precarious position should there be any Law Enforcement response. Technically, if the firearms are easily accessible, and the felon has open access to that area (especially common areas of a residence) it would be considered possession, even though not in the subject's hands. Very similar to riding in a vehicle, where presence of contraband (drugs, firearms, etc.) will attach to all occupants. We did not want to deny non felons their rights, nor place persons who had completed their sentences in a trick bag.
