I have no idea how you can do anything without involving or upsetting your dad, however the bigger problem is that your sister hired a caregiver that is a felon and there are loaded guns in the home. Further, your dad has Alzheimer's. What if he gets the gun and it goes off? Your first concern should be for the immediate safety of your dad and you should be acting with all due diligence to remove the loaded guns from the home, as they pose an imminent public safety risk. "Upsetting" dad or not, I would immediately go to your local police department and request their help in removing and securing those weapons.
