peppers 1 Posted December 10, 2015 a friend of mine recently got probation for offending a minor that was in the room with an adult conversation going on. he is a firearms owner and his lawyer said a third degree probation shouldn't effect his owning guns in any way. he needs to change his address on his card. would there be any complications? i don't want to dis his lawyer but a second opinion couldn't hurt. otherwise i need to get some cash up to buy some of his collection.

Smokin .50 1,907 Posted December 10, 2015 Your friend already has hired an attorney. Your post is "vague" in regards to the actual offense, so anyone who gives an opinion is doing so w/o all of the facts. Asking for a second opinion from another lawyer (one who specializes in firearms law) is a good thing. Asking HERE is laughable at best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Matrix 105 Posted December 10, 2015 Asking HERE is laughable at best. Agreed 100% I can see this and other issues at court..."but, but, but the people on the internet said it was OK." LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fslater 62 Posted December 11, 2015 If he got probation, if I'm not mistaken he had to have been convicted of something? Any conviction that has the word minor in it is not good no matter how ridiculous or unfounded Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

illy 1 Posted December 13, 2015 You said he got "third degree probation". Did you mean probation for a third degree offense? Because if so, he's a convicted felon and his gun owning days are over. Even if he's on probation for an disorderly persons offense (or even PTI), he doesn't lose his 2A rights, but he he can't have guns at home while serving the probationary term.
