Prohibited Person

Hoping one of the attorneys that frequent this forum can offer an opinion.

I have a friend who got into trouble 10 years ago due to drug addiction. He’s been clean and sober since, is a homeowner and small business owner, married and just had a child. He’s saving to apply for a pardon and expungement.

His wife would like a firearm in the house for protection, especially because they keep a lot of cash from the business there. Unless/until a pardon and expungement are granted, is he prohibited from living in a household where a firearm is present if it’s owned by someone else? How about if it’s secured in a safe and only his wife knows the combination. (I hear you chuckling. Serious question though.)

Opinions would be appreciated.
