Does the order of probation prohibit guns? That is the deciding issue.

Yes. He probably can unless it was felony DUI or its a term of probation.

Yes, unless specifically told that he cannot in court order. It is best to discuss the situation with the probation officer and get direction in writing as to how to proceed. Usually, probation conditions say no weapons possession. This means having near you or under your control or touching it. So long as guns are not in common room and he never touches one, he should be fine.

Depends on the Judge and the language of the Probation Order.
