Can I convicted felon live with someone with a Legal Gun Permit?

admin — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 10:11:21 +0000

I am a registered sex offender. I was charged with a felony, but i took a plea to a high misdemeanor. I also have a unlawful use of a financial device felony. My girlfriend wants to get a Carrying Concealed Weapon License (CCW) state of Florida. Is this possible? I know that I cant get a license, but can she have a firearm in the house without me getting into any trouble? Her rights should not be removed because she lives with me right? I shouldnt get in trouble because she has a firearm in the house for protection right? If someone breaks in the home and I fire the weapon in self defense of myself and our family will i get in trouble?

Thank you
So what your saying, is that if we are asleep, and if me and my child are in the house and the wife is not home, and someone breaks in, i must sit there and take a chance on whatever happens? I cannot fire the weapon in self defense of me and my child because of my record? So if they raise a weapon at me and fire, i cant return fire?
Paul, we want a weapon in the house for protection in the house only. Does she need a CCW for that, or is it another license, or do you even need a license? Can she just buy a gun for home protection? Does it matter if its a handgun or rifle? Preferably a handgun for ease of use. She doesnt want to carry the gun on her at all. Where we live we would feel more safer with a gun in the home locked in a gun safe.
I think its really dumb that if your felony is not a violent crime you cant get a weapon, what does credit card fraud have to do with a gun? My sexual assault charge was reduced to a misdemeanor so its not a felony

What kind of handgun should I get?

admin — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 10:05:23 +0000

I’m away from home right now, but when I get back I plan on getting a pistol. I’m not too knowledgeable on the subject of firearms (other than the ones I’ve had experience with, most of which I don’t believe you can own legally). Right now the only gun I own is an oooold 22 that has been in my family for almost a century.

The [2] main qualities that I am looking for are: easily concealable and low recoil

Reason being that I also plan on getting a concealed carrier license, as well as something that won’t knock my wife on her backside when/if she has to use it.

Thanks in advance.
Shooter – Looks pretty good. One of the guys here with me has a Springfield 45. He swears by it. Any other ideas just for the sake of looking.

Mooned – Thanks for the input, but I forgot to mention that I’m not too interested in a revolver.
I’m in the military, so the weapons I have most experience with are 240Bs, 249s, 50 cal, that sort of thing… Not the most practical weapons for self defense (stateside anyway) although it might be fun.
That fn five seven looks like a little beast (and you’re right, the rounds do look like baby 5.56s) However, although it’s not out of my price range, I’ve told myself that I don’t want to spend more than 6 or 7 hundred.

Oklahoma Self Defense Act?

admin — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 10:06:42 +0000

I have a concealed carry license and have had it for over 10 years now. Today a friend and I were detained by the cops. When I told them that I was carrying a registered and legal firearm and showed them my concealed carry permit, one of them said that if my passenger was a convicted felon that BOTH he and I would be going to jail! Is this true? I’ve read the law over and over again, and nowhere does I can’t find it anywhere in the Oklahoma Self Defense Act manual.

Did you know this about gun control?

admin — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:53:28 +0000

That most gun control is design to incrementally chip away at gun ownership freedoms by criminalizing harmless gun ownership activites rather than deter harmful criminal actions.

Example, the felony ban on taking a firearm within 1,000 yards of a school. If you take a protractor and draw a 1,000 yard radius around each school on a map, you will find the circles overlapping and virtually shutting off all major throughfares in a city to those who would harmlessly transport their firearms to a range or from a store to their homes.

Filling out a form incorrectly when purchasing a firearms. If you botch the address (put St. instead of Street, for example), technically the feds can charge you with a felony offense.

Exposing a concealed weapon inadvetently. If you have CHL (Concealed Handgun License) in a state and the wind blows your overgarment up to reveal the grib of your sidearm, you are guilty of a crime. (Would not a minor fine be more appropriate?)

If some angry girlfriend issues a protective warrant against you, you are suddenly a felon for being in possession of a firearm, even though you were not present in the proceedings to argue your case, not givin any opportunity to transfer your firearms out of your possession. (Are we not innocent until proven guilty? Should not only guilty parties be denied their freedoms?)

Domestic Gun Ban. If you were ever convicted of a "misdemeanor" offense of family violence, you incur a "lifetime" ban from owning firearms, and if any are in your custody at the time of the conviction, you are automatically considered a felon. (Since when did misdemeanor offenses eliminate one of the freedoms in the Bill of Rights? Would banning someone from voting for getting into a misdemeanor scuffle from a political argument be tantamount to the same? Is not the Democrats’ move to grant prior felons the right to vote a contrast to denying those with misdemeanor offense the right to self defense?).

We are incrementally losing our freedoms to legislators who continue to grow their own power.

I say gun control is more about population control than fighting crime.

Thoughts?
By "population control", I meant "societal control", not census stuff.
No, the suggestion to join the NRA is not wise. The NRA has collaborated too many times with the anti-Gun folks in Congress. Maybe joining the GOA (Gunowners of America) works.
Anti-Gun crowd: wants more gun restrictions.
NRA: wants stiffer penalties for gun violations.

Both effectively advance the cause of Gun Control.

Is Rochester New York a Safe City?

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 10:05:29 +0000

I’m thinking of going to university in Rochester at RIT. I’ve been reading up on Rochester and up-state New York and it looks to me to be pretty unsafe. I’ve heard that it’s the murder capital of New York and also that it’s the 30th most dangerous city in the US. Mostly, I intend to stay in or around campus anyway, but I’d still like to know. I’m disabled, so not much that I can do for self defense. I have a concealed firearms license for GA, but New York state gun laws are much more strict.

New York State Pistol License?

admin — Mon, 24 May 2010 09:41:30 +0000

I am filling out the forms for a New York State Pistol License. One of the questions basically asks for the purpose of me getting the license. The options are "Concealed Carry", "On-Location", and "Workplace". I will be getting it for home/self defense, kept mostly in my house, however, what about transportation? Should I check concealed carry? If so, are there any further requirements to be granted a concealed carry license in New York? If I should just choose the "on location" one, what are the laws/rules regarding transporting a handgun (i.e. in a car to/from range, gunsmith, etc.)? Thanks for well-informed answers in advance.
Personal experience anyone? In New York State? (Not NYC)
Well put Robert M.
Jed, that’s what I was thinking. If it’s no extra requirements or anything, then there’s no real reason not to check it.
Barb B.: Rockland County. And I’ll check that out, thanks for the post.

Do you know the firearms laws in New Jersey?

admin — Sun, 23 May 2010 15:03:57 +0000

Please only answer if know. I live in Georgia and may be getting transfered to New Jersey. I have a firearms license(concealed carry permit) and own alot of guns. I know my firearms permit is no good in Jersey but what is a good way to go about moving with them? I own 15 guns and no I’m am not. And yes I am a law abiding citizen. I also have a 600lb safe I keep them in.

What I know…
I’m sure all my 15 round mags for the pistols are out, I’m sure my AK is out, I have read that hollow point bullets are out. Damn I hope I can stay in a red state.
"extraordinary circumstances"…
If I say it is my constitutional right, will that work. lol
