I may have a relative coming to stay with me for a few weeks who is a recovering alcoholic. He is just coming out of rehab and has been mostly dry for a few months, albeit with an occasional relapse. I know he can't legally possess a firearm, but while he's living with us he'd have access to my firearms if he so desired, seeing as they are not secured in a safe. Would this present any legal issues for either of us?
Also, how long would he have to be sober before no longer being considered an "habitual drunkard" and thus able to legally possess a firearm? I haven't seen anything in the state code regarding this, so I thought some of you might have some insight.
