A felon can't be in the vicinity of a firearm. I know someone who is a felon and his wife bought a pistol to keep in her nightstand because her and a new baby were home alone a lot because he worked out of town and usually wouldn't get home till early in the morning. They lived in a not so great part of Fayetteville. His home was raided while they were asleep (he was on probation) and they found the pistol. He is now doing 15 yrs.

He was on probation, so technically...he wasn't free. That sucks for him. Some could possibly argue... technically I'm not free. Just saying.

I'm glad that you and your family didn't get hurt. I've never been in a situation like that before, so I can't imagine how shook up everyone is right now.

I hope you're able to find a better place to live sometime soon.
 
It's my general opinion that once a person has paid their dues, their rights should automatically be restored.

This flat out denial of specific rights under general, non-specific terms is not right.

For example, there are plenty of nonviolent felony crimes one may be convicted of. What business does the government have in denying a person the RKBA for such? How is that relevant to the crime?

And while the states often have avenues one may pursue for the restoration of certain rights, the federal government does not. How is this not covered in the people's First Amendment right to petition the government for redress of grievances?

This isn't a moral application of due process.

I get it if a person is convicted of a violent felony wherein a specific denial of the RKBA may be appropriate. But that's not the way it's done.

Not just felonies either, any crime punishable by more than one year in prison. Plenty of misdemeanors fit that description. So you can pleasd guilty to a misdemeanor that is PUNISHABLE up to a couple years, do a little probation, and lose your gun rights.
 
I hope this is enough. It really happened. I wish it didn't, my stepson slept on the floor last night.

This "...punishable by more than one year in prison" is actually part of the definition of a felony.

And yes...this is also part of the reason why I object to specific denial of one's rights under very broad, general descriptions/definitions.

If a right is to be revoked by due process, it should be something along the order of:

"In keeping with the conviction of a felony assault under (statute) in this trial of (enter trial information), the following rights are revoked as being pertinent to the nature of the crime (list specific rights with the specific reason this is relevant to the crime convicted of)."

Format and dress that up in proper legalese as required.
 
By the way, @Is this leagal, if you HAD been able to defend yourself and take down one or more of these individuals with, say, a .54 caliber, 425 grain muzzleloader bullet, let's just say I would print that story out and frame it!

Especially if you used blackpowder instead of pyrodex and all the smoke was caught on video!

Extra points if you ran them down in full pirate gear and a brace of muzzleloader pistols in your belt!

After this, knowing your family is OK, this image should bring a smile to your face!

If your vehicles are a Chevy Silverado and a Jeep Compass, I have seen the incident/investigation report on CPD's web site.

The report we got was all messed up. My wife's last name plus phone # was wrong. Listed me as a non-resident. There wasn't anything on it about property damage, just the vehicles. I don't even want to go into the rest of our day...so far.

For killing ground hornets you can buy spray cans at Lowe's or Home Depo that work great.

range 10-15 feet of more.

Keep a can when you travel to keep pests away.

No.

Buy CS spray. It has the added benefit of actually being useful against Humans.

You can not travel with CS spray. But but spray is fine to travel with. You must be very careful itbug A little bit in the eyes would very painful. Be careful in gas stations for bugs in trash cans of parking lots for other pests.

No laws against Bear Spray that I'm aware of, has a ~30' fog pattern and will put a hurting on a human. I wouldn't wast my time with wasp spray.

No "Laws" against pepper spray either that I can remember. Now then there are plenty of rules against what you can have while on probation/parole. The same way it's not illegal for a felons family member to own a firearm, just saying.
