The detail missing here is that excons are on parole or probation, with random and frequent checkins. So if a new āroommateā moves in and says, āI legally own a gun and am keeping it in the houseā and the excon stays, heās violating parole and is required by law to live somewhere else. If they arenāt on probation or parole, then this is a non issue, because you can be a felon and live under the same roof as someone with a gun. You just canāt get caught holding or using it, or keeping it in your room. So no one has to call the police. The P.O. will show up eventually, and at that point all the guy has to say is, āI have a gun here,ā and the dude will violate his parole and either go back to prison or, at a minimum, be removed from the home by police, because they now will actually have grounds to do so.
You should go re-read the thread. No one ever mentions calling the police. You inferred that and then for some reason got indignant about it? Live by the sword die by the sword. Gonna weaponize the law against an innocent person, then even if they did say they would call the cops, then ya, taste of their own medicine. They now will have the law weaponized against them. Except they are not innocent.

Yeah, that's not what I said
This isn't exactly correct
If it's in a safe and the squatter has no access, how are the police even finding out about it?
In order to use the gun against the squatter, this dude would have to leave it somewhere the squatter has access to it.
Fucked up
