Every state has different rules. Check with whoever regulates CCPs for you...maybe state Attorney Generals office. If in doubt, leave it at home to be sure.
I bet it would vary depending on jurisdiction. If you keep it on yourself i bet you would be ok, but dont quote me, i dont know the laws in your area, and the area you are going to be riding around in....
I do know that if you have a felon living in the house with you ( like a spouse or roommate ) you cant have anything in the house...

Call your local police department and ask them. Small town PD would likely get you an immediate answer as opposed to calling a large city where everyone has to ask someone else.
One of my brothers lived with my mother and he was a convicted felon on probation. She had to get rid of her carry because he wasn't allowed to be near a gun. That's Georgia law and may be different where you live. Of course, here if you're legally carrying, driving along and get stopped within certain distances of schools or day cares or drive through a school zone or past a day care, you can be charged with a felony.

Police are not your friend, and will rarely give the 'legal' answer. A felon is not allowed to possess, in any way, a firearm. They may not have ready access to it.
If you are a properly permitted person, in possession of your gun in a reasonable retention holster, you should be good, but CHECK YOUR STATE LAWS. DON'T DEPEND ON THE WORD OF THE POLICE.
well now i am going to have to travel a bunch of states without a gun, so yes, it is a problem, some bad areas too
If you are traveling interstate I would worry more about if your state concealed carry permit is reciprocated by the state you are traveling to. This map may be of some help but I would call each states permit office before just going someplace with your CC weapon.
some states allow CC permit holders to carry in their state, others don't, Maine for example doesn't allow for any Reciprocity but does allow out of state visitors to get a CC permit for the state of Maine but you must do it ahead of time. Taxachusettes is one that doesn't allow for any Reciprocity or out of state permit holders to even get a permit in any way shape or form. I got my first CC permit in Taxachusettes and the only way to get one there was to have a letter of recommendation by the local police chief as well as a local legislator. As well as having no felony convictions, and a bunch of other hoops you had to jump threw, but that was in the mid 70s, now I have no idea just how much more difficult it is but I am sure it is even more difficult as Taxachusettes is one of the most difficult states in the country to get kind of gun permits. Hell you have to have a permit there just to buy BBs.
Good luck and watch your back.
Edit to add, You have a PM
Steve

I don't think it has anything to do with you and is not your problem. Just don't let him have access, or leave it in the car or anywhere else unattended.
If there was any merit to the law affecting YOU for his restrictions of being in the vicinity of a gun than people would be losing their rights to carry in restaurants, ride busses stand on the street and on and on and on as a result of HIS actions and punishment.
Amazingly, it would effect you if you were living together.

Since he knows of the restrictions, i think the situation may be a bit different than if he didn't. I agree that if he didn't know, then it would be all on his friend, in this case.

I think it would be up to his "friend" to remove himself from the situation and OP bares no responsibility.
Hey, a new gun control idea. A felon on every corner and you have been notified.
