Question
My son recently received a sentence for DUI and will be getting another in 3 months for another offense(felony). Neither of the charges have him as a threat. He will be receiving probation for both offenses. I have a protection permit and do quite a bit of hunting and shooting as a hobby. Will I be able to keep the firearms in my house. My son is 24years old and cannot move out on his own for at least a year. I live in Pennsylvania.
Thank You
Brian S.
Brian,
Thanks for contacting me. Federal law states that felons cannot own or possess firearms. If you have a gun safe where they are under your care, then it should not be a problem. However since I am not an attorney,and to be sure, I recommend contacting legal help to ask this question.

| Comment | A decisive answer was given and that is what I was looking for. In my case I have a locking device but it is not a safe, just a locking cabinet. I will talk to my attorney and beable to keep my firearms for protection and hunting. Thank You | ||
