Question for the legally minded here...

My cousin was on probation for a Dfelony that got dropped to an a misdameanor when he finished probation the other day.. I have been holding his guns for him... Is it safe for him to get them back now that it was dropped to the lesser charge?

His laywer is on vacation for about 2 weeks so we can't ask him....

Unless he's got a hard-on to shoot something, hold them for another 2 weeks..

I think you already know the answer to that one

Yep, give him the guns back so they lock him up for the next decade.

And don't forget to wave good buy to your cousin

It got dropped to misdemenor though... So he doesn't have a felony on his record now..........




they are some pretty nice pieces though..... I'll just tell him Judge SA said no dice and just "hold onto them" for him for a little while longer.... LOL

Unless he plans on using them in the next few weeks it should be no problemo.

Judge SA. I kind of like that

Depends on if he is on probation and what that probation is all about. He should have paperwork on it and it may have instructions on his terms.

Hold his guns, and wait until the attorney gets back would be my suggestion, just in case there is a problem or some question on if he should have them at all.

WTF! Ask the lawman? Playoffs? Playoffs? (Get my tone?) Ask the law????

Are you people nuts. Hello Law enforcement officer (LEO) I had a felony and now it is a misdemeanor but when it was felony I owned guns but I hid them at my cousins house? Can I bring them home now? Klunk! Tasar! Pepper Spray! Handcuffs! NO YOU CAN"T!!!

If it is a misdemeanor you can own a gun. But wait until your lawyer comes back. Sometimes there is a waiting period. If you do ask LEO say, "Now that I don't have a felony can I own a gun?". But stay away from LEO.

All my felonies were expunged. I only have a misdemeanor. I am going to have a felony soon though if fucking Magic doesn't pick the Colts to win Saturday. I am going out to the magic kingdom and lay some MOLE PAIN on him.

Don't give me that crap about jinxing them Magic. We need all our mojo on one side. I will dive right at your ankles and latch on like a RABID MOLE.

Magic's too smart, he'll take the Ravens

Oh My!

LOL well just for the record I called my own guy for him and he said that yeah he can own a gun again... He had to go to the statepolice post and take the paperwork to them and then they changed the way it was listed in the computer... So he has them back now... My lawyer even showed me the list of things that makes somebody a prohibited person to the feds..... Now if you get a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction then you can never own a gun again... it doesn't even have to be a felony!!! AND if you get 2 alcohol related offenses you have to wait 3 years from the date of the last one before you can own or carry a handgun again... The brady Bill is some crazy ass shit!!

I'm glad I got everything my phsyco ex tried thrown out of court or I would have been screwed!! Because me personally, i wouldn't have surrendered my firearms... I would have drywalled them in the walls or pressure sealed them and buried them at my country place.... But they wouldn't have gone to the feds... EVER.

In MN, if you even get an order for protection against you -- which isn't a criminal act -- it is the civil action for someone who feels threatened in a domestic relationship (no violence need actually occur), you lose the right to own guns.

Pretty crazy. OFP's are easy to get too.

Yeah kobesgame, that is crazy.. I understand that there are people that are abused and that they do need the orders in order to be kept safe (from being beaten or even killed) but from what I've seen here in Indy it is way to easy for a mad woman to be able to go out and swear one out against a boyfriend or significant other just to get revenge... And you know that the judges and other people know that many of those cases are bunk...

It just doesn't make sense alot of the time.
