Incorrect. My wife may not own firearms, as the house is mine. Therefore it falls under the legal doctrine of Constructive possession, this is how cars repossessions and foreclosures occur. The simple fact that the gun is in my house makes me it's possessor. The exception would be if the guns were locked in a safe, to which only she had a key, and I had no access thereto. Which pretty much defeats the purpose of owning a firearm for self defense in the first place.
And lol @ the "well he shouldn't have committed a felony in the first place." It was self-defense. The only reason I was even prosecuted is because the individual who was the original belligerent happened to be a policeman.
You mean like a gunvault which she has the combination to and thousands of people keep their pistols in?
And what good are they in the event of a home invasion/defensive confrontation?
oh right. none.
Yes, I know what a gun vault is. I also know that the precious seconds it may take you to open it is enough time for a home invader to harm my son, my wife, or myself.
get a crossbow yo.

Firstly, we've gotten off-topic. Secondly, that isn't what I said. What I said was "a gunvault takes time to open, and as such makes it an impediment to the use of a firearm as a defensive measure when time is a factor". Of course, that's paraphrased, since those weren't my exact words, but rather the impetus of what I stated.
Discussing the issue with you is a dead end. Your mind is made up, and that is your right.
I've shared some pretty personal information with you all, even though this is of course an anonymous internet board. I'd like, if I may though, to ask you a question. Have you ever been in a fist fight in your adult life (by which I mean 18+ years of age)? Pure curiosity.
And I maintain that had the person in question not been an LEO, I would likely not have been charged at all, or at most with misdemeanor assault or disturbing the peace, or some other "nuisance" law.

Why did you get a felony for a fist fight? And yes to your question.
Now, I have to wonder what someone who uses a screen name of a "felon" is wanting to do here? Are you proud of being a felon or something?
Every free person should have the right to protect oneself. If you are free, you should not have any restrictions on rights.
Because the person whose ass got kicked ended up being a drunk off duty officer according to his story.Why did you get a felony for a fist fight? And yes to your question.
