Under Federal law, the felon cannot have uncontrolled access to the firearms. When not in someone's hand, they need to be under lock and key- and the felon cannot have access to the key.
no <><><> If they have direct access to firearms in the home, (such as an unlocked gun) no, they cannot.
No. Not a good idea! US Code, Title 18 stipulates that it is a federal offense for a convicted felon to ever own or "POSSESS" firearms of any type. To live in a residence where there are firearms puts the felon in what is known in the law as "constructive possession" of the firearms (i.e.- the felon would have ready access to them - which is exactly what the law is written to prevent). That is a violation of the law, and the person who owns the guns and who knowingly resides with a convicted felon could also be charged as an accessory to the offense.
No, not in Tennessee nor anywhere else in the US. The federal law states that a convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or be given access to firearms. Living in a house with firearms present is considered them having access, whether it's kept locked up or not.

Federal law prohibits a felon from purchasing, possessing, or being allowed access to firearms. In the instance you describe, it can be a bit of a grey area. However, if law enforcement determines that the felon does have access to firearms (which they can do, even if that firearm is locked away in a safe), then both parties are subject to prosecution.
There is no set distance. Basically, a felon cannot have access to or control over a firearm.Added: For instance: You cannot live in the same home where there are firearms. Your spouse (with whom you live) may not have firearms - you cannot hang around with anyone who carries one, or be in a car where there are firearms.
Depends what country you live in and the regulations regarding firearms.
Depends on the laws where YOU live. They vary place to place.
It may not be illegal for YOU to own it - but - if it is in the same house as the convicted felon he may be deemed to be "in possession" of it. A convicted felon is prohibited by federal law from owning or POSSESSING firearms (USC, Title 18). If it comes to it, you MIGHT be charged with "aiding and abetting."
No. Because all firearms are capable of firing blanks or live ammunition.
A felon may not purchases, possess, or be allowed access to firearms. Living in the same home as a felon is considered to be allowing the access, even if they are kept in a safe.
