Law question about guns and a felony
Posted on 12/31/16 at 8:05 pm

A guy I work with has a felony, so obviously he cant own a gun.
He tells me he can't be within 15' of a gun, even if on a legal carry person.
That in noway seems correct?
Please advise

That doesn't even make sense.
Relate note: how many idiots are going to discharge rounds in the air tonight, with no concern for where they land?

I'm gonna guess his felony had something to do with a gun.

That's BS.

He only has said it has nothing to do with drugs.
What type of gun thing would make it to were he can't even be in the presence of one?

If a gun is being carried on the body of another person in public, he's probably safe from any kind of constructive possession situation. But if he's a felon trying to avoid a charge he's smart to just stay the hell away from guns as much as possible regardless.

if someone is pointing a gun at him, is he still breaking the law?

My thought is purely a guess...maybe some kind of special circumstance?
If it is possible, then maybe he was using a gun while committing the crime.
What kinda place do you work at?

Kind of how the discussion was that led to my question here.
I said get your old lady to legally buy a gun so it is in the house. He said 'I would be put in jail' even if owned by the wife.
ETA: Stand up dude. He isnt trying to avoid any charge. I'm the curious one on this
That shite makes no sense to me.

i imagine there are some states that have their "felon in possession" laws written like that
Posted on 12/31/16 at 8:19 pm to Wild Thang
Not all felons are prohibited from carrying a gun, depends on the crime. Also, depending on the conviction (state/federal) they can possess a firearm after 10 years of completing their sentence if it wasn't a federal crime.

I legit said what if you walk into a robbery during this convo. He said don't matter.
I legit want to be able to tell him that is BS whoever advised him of that. But don't want to mess around with some law I don't know.

He better stay away from cops then. If they try to pull him over, he should drive away as fast as possible.
Posted on 12/31/16 at 8:26 pm to Wild Thang
BWW respectable???
