Legal Question in Criminal Law in Utah
My brother-in-law was convicted of a felony some years ago. He knows he cannot be in possession of a firearm. He lives with his wife (my sister) and my mother. My mother owns a gun and my sister wishes to obtain a concealed carry permit and a handgun. What ramifications are there for all parties involved with my mother having a gun in the house (not in locked safe), my sister wishing to own and carry a handgun around her husband?

These would be issues of "possession" and "constructive possession" I suggest you call a local criminal defense lawyer to have them check on this for you. The ramifications would be that your brother in law would be violating the law against a "restricted person" (felon) being in possession of a firearm, if the court could establish he possessed it. Again call a local lawyer to get a better explanation.
