Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Edward J. Blum
You can own a gun. But beware of The law of joint per constructive possession which may attribute the gun to your husband. A good case on this issue came down earlier this week.

Is he looking at jail time if he was caught driving without a license in an unregistered vehicle?

Answered by attorney Lawrence Thomas Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
Yes. You need a license, insurance and registered vehicle in order to drive on the public roads. He had no license and the vehicle was unregistered, and probably safe to assume that he had no insurance. The license, insurance and registration is not a suggestion, but a requirement. So, he should expect to go to jail.

Can I get in trouble is I have guns in my home and my husband is a convicted felon?

Answered by attorney Joan M. Durkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Durkin & Graham, P.C.
Possession means actual care, custody or management of the weapon. "Joint" possession has been held to be sufficient for a conviction under the felon in possession of a firearm statute. Your husband could be charged based on his connection to the guns. You could only potentially be charged under an "unlawful transfer" statute if you "knowingly sold" a firearm to a convicted felon. Simply having a firearm in your home should not allow you to be charged.
