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.

He should contact a competent firearm attorney.

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.

Agreed 100%

 

I can see this and other issues at court..."but, but, but the people on the internet said it was OK."  LOL

Just when you thought you heard it all,  WTF does that mean.

Guess you can get charged for anything in the PRNJ lol

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

Careful now, there are minors around here 

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.

What statute was he charged and convicted under?
