Followup message to everybody:
hmm I'm definitely going to talk to a lawyer about this situation, but for now I've put my guns at my mothers house. I do have a lock on my door but no safe as of yet.
but as for moving out, that not an option this is the best financial situation available and I can't move back into my mother's house because she doesn't have any room, besides this guy is my friend of 9 years and he's definitely not a druggie.. he got his felony for selling drugs not doing them, it was a simple mistake he made right out of high school that cost him over $10,000 in fines.
I tell him to get his felony expunged (basically legally removed) which would solve this whole problem.. but it's expensive to get an expungment lawyer... atleast that's what I've heard.
but regardless thanks to everyone for all the advice, I'm going to go read up on my state laws and then talk to a lawyer to protect both me and him.
Thanks

I know felons aren't allowed to have firearms, but what if your roommate is a felon (drug charge 7 years ago, non-violent) and you stay in separate rooms... is that illegal? would the cops take my guns if they found out? what should I do?? also if he had ever marijuana in the house would they confiscate my guns? HELP!!
thanks
