can you own a gun if your spouse was convicted of a crime?

[D6557]

I was thinking of purchasing a gun, but my wife was convicted of a crime and sentenced to six months in jail. Does this now mean a gun cannot even be int the house? I was going to ask for more information but since I was here I thought I would ask here as well

No, it does not mean a gun cannot even be in the house.

First you need to find out if she is now a prohibited person. It doesn't matter what she was actually sentenced to serve, it matters what the maximum sentence for her crime was. If she is now prohibited it complicates things. You could still have a gun, but she can't have any access to it at all.
