How is this even a question?
Is the church in a Simon mall and felons giving piggy back rides?
Of course, the FELON may have parole requirements the stipulate that HE cannot be within X feet of a firearm, in the same room/building, etc... Not YOUR problem, though.
IANAL, but aren't diffewrernt felonies different in ongoing penalties? Non violent felonies may not restrict firearms access?
has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year;
Possession of a firearm may be either actual or constructive. The latter has been defined as
follows: “Constructive possession exists when a person knowingly has the power and intention at
a given time of exercising dominion and control over the object or over the area in which the object
is locate....” (See U.S. v Booth, et.al. 111 F.3d 2 [1st Cir. September 1997]). If you know the
firearm is present in your residence, vehicle, etc., and if it can be shown that you have the ability to
access and exercise control over that firearm personally or through another individual, then you
could be considered to have constructive possession of the firearm. You would then be subject to
new criminal charges and/or revocation of supervision. For these reasons, all firearms are to be
removed from your residence during the term of supervision
tagging for an answer and adding my
IANAL but I cant imagine you going where you are allowed to go would cause problems for you. (unless you choose to remove your sidearm and place it where the felon could access it, such as during a basketball game in the gym for instance)
Now I could see how it could cause problems for the felon. After all, if a kiddie diddler has to stay away from kids, I could see how a felon could be required to steer clear of weapons.
I would hope that maintaining positive control of your weapon would be enough to negate any issues for everyone.
You're overthinking this.
We've a felon in our Sunday School class, no one cares about this. Actually, his wife has a pretty sweet XD(m).
Wanted to get some thoughts on a couple of situations concerning attending a congregation with a known felon. An individual that was convicted of a violent felony just got out of prison and is now attending. My wife and I and multiple others carry during services.
Now I would assume that carrying during services would be like any other public group I could be in. If I show up at McDonald's and their is a felon there neither one of us is really creating an issue for the other. But what if one of us chooses to attend a get together/bible study etc. at someone's house, carry in, etc. and the felon is there too? Could this become an issue for the felon? A few of us do OC at church so yes he is and would be aware that their are guns in the building.
Thoughts?
How is this different than going to starbucks and there possibly being a felon getting an orange mocha frappuccino?
This sounds like code to me. For something dirty, nasty, and I want to take a bath for even thinking about it.
Can you post up some pics?
G Gordon Liddy's wife has a very nice selection of firearms in the safe on her side of the bed.
