Let's say you are a collector, or any legal gun owner, and get jammed up on a felony charge. I suppose the smart thing to do would be to somehow quickly transfer your guns to someone who can legally own them, like a spouse or other close relative. If you legally purchased the guns but later become ineligible, what constitutes possession? You spouse in the same household does not lose their 2A rights just because you get convicted.


Your spouse might not lose them but needs to be awfully circumspect to keep you out of jail.

We had a client in San Diego, who was on parole from Texas, a murder charge, I believe. He was living with a girl friend, had a job, acting right, etc. One day the po-po showed up to check on him. Being on parole, he has no rights at all. Well, his girl friend had a pistol in the drawer of the nightstand in her side of the bed, and back to prison in Texas he went.

This isn’t exactly the same but might illustrate the practical limitations one must deal with.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I kindof remember one of the cop shows where they said the felon can't be in the house with weapons. So not sure if the wife transfer would work, unless she stored them in a separate building somewhere...

My son did some stupid shit a couple years ago and got charged with felony breaking and entering. His parole officer told me that he could not have access to any firearms, and if he were staying in my house they'd have to be secured in a safe or something similar, not just in the bedroom behind closed doors. This was in North Carolina.




Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago.

It’d be interesting to see where he got 500 guns. Something tells me it wasn’t legally.


Is there a number of guns you have that makes them (obtained) illegal? Confused

I suppose if you have a LOT of ammo (number TBD - varies by state) then you must be doing something illegal too? Eek


How does a convicted felon legally obtain firearms?


That wasn't the question.

Does the number of guns you own or the number of rounds you possess determine whether you are a criminal?

Ummmm I think that the story stating that he IS a FELON in possession of firearms is all I needed to read. That's still against the law if I remember correctly.


LIKE I SAID "IF" he was actually convicted (the article made no details and it wouldn't be the fist time the MSM lied) then GAME OVER otherwise the implication that having a LOT of guns is criminal (or ammo) is WRONG!

Plus it doesn't take much at all in CA for them to have a reason to no-knock raid to take your guns - any quantity - for any reason they can think of.

That pile of guns in a pickup bed really pisses me off. Do they not have some duty to care for property?
If they arrested someone with a bunch of alleged stolen art would they just fire the evidence into the back of a pickup?
