Crappy NJ/NY laws

Does anyone know answer ;
if a person is convicted of tax evasion (1 count fed felony) a resident of NJ CANNOT transfer weapons to spouse (who holds valid FID etc.). Does anyone know if same holds true for NY state (not 5 boroughs but upstate).
How about Feds, can spouse still legaly possess? Seems crummy deal that one person would lose their 2nd Amendment rights due to the error of a spouse.[?]

If your spouse is convicted of a felony, YOU may still have arms, BUT, must be kept away from them as they may not LEGALLY have acess to them.
This does not apply if you are carrying on your person if you are a CCW holder, nor if you are transporting arms to say a range, PROVIDED you are following the law to transport them.
Please ALSO remember that a convicted spouse may NOT poses ammmo (either complete OR the components) or gun parts. So don't send the spouse to town to get groceries and some 22 rimfire ammo.
This advice is worth just what you paid for it, your milage may vary.
