It's good to have a friend... discntnt_irny_srcsm Sep 2016 #14

Good solid work- but be aware what you did in some states would constitute multiple felonies Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #17

Getting in trouble with the police is the LAST concern in a situation like this. nt pinboy3niner Sep 2016 #19

It is but people should be aware they can still have lives destroyed for doing the right thing Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #21

In all seriousness I doubt that anyone could find a judge to allow prosecution under flamin lib Sep 2016 #23

Then there will be huge gaps in enforcement. krispos42 Sep 2016 #26

Oh pulezzz. flamin lib Sep 2016 #39

In sweetapogee Sep 2016 #53

Here is how it would be prosecuted Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #64

Like anyone would prosecute that. Christ, gunners are so irrational. Hoyt Sep 2016 #35

See my response above on how it would be Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #65

Lee, you guys -- gun supporters -- are just trying to criticize background checks. Majority of Hoyt Sep 2016 #78

Because in America all cops and prosecutors are fair and unbiased hack89 Sep 2016 #77

Howabout you gunners show us one case where something like this has been prosecuting where there is Hoyt Sep 2016 #79

Why? hack89 Sep 2016 #81

What the heck do you call you gunners' fear of prosecution for taking guns away from someone Hoyt Sep 2016 #90

How come you never show AA gun owners? hack89 Sep 2016 #95

Because AA have better sense than to act like yahoos, not nearly as many as white gunners, Hoyt Sep 2016 #96

So being a yahoo has nothing to do with actually shooting people? hack89 Sep 2016 #98

Abramski vs US Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #84

Cue the music sarisataka Sep 2016 #88

That's called a straw-purchase. We are talking taking someone's guns for their protection with Hoyt Sep 2016 #89

Both situations are illegal acts with no criminal intent Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #93

Man, I bet you were a riot when busting people for minor offenses. Hoyt Sep 2016 #97

Not how I rolled but when I worked domestic violence I saw lots of cases Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #99

Ownership wasnt transferred. The owner let him keep the gun for him. 7962 Sep 2016 #52

Doesn't matter in most of the UBC states Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #63

So it would be illegal for me to let you take my gun for target shooting? 7962 Sep 2016 #68

Yes- in some states it's so absurd that it's worse Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #70

Holy crap. I'm sending your post to a few friends. Thanks for the info 7962 Sep 2016 #83

Good lord, how many "firearms" do you have? cwydro Sep 2016 #18

I'll explain my own but his are his business. flamin lib Sep 2016 #20

Nice thing to do. Lucky you are in a state where such "loans" are legal. jmg257 Sep 2016 #33

Oh, BS. No state would prosecute that, not a one. Hoyt Sep 2016 #37

Lake Oswego pastor could face charges for transfer of AR-15 NickB79 Sep 2016 #50

Might, could, being looked into. flamin lib Sep 2016 #56

Do you know what COULD means? Hoyt Sep 2016 #57

Yes, it means there's enough ambiguity in the law that the police need to investigate NickB79 Sep 2016 #69

He's not going to be charged... Marengo Sep 2016 #74

That's good to know - I wonder how to tell then what is illegal and what isn't. jmg257 Sep 2016 #55

No one will prosecute taking gunz away from a depressed man, UNLESS THE MAN FILES THEFT CHARGES. Hoyt Sep 2016 #58

I get it...as long as he's depressed, he can transfer/dispose of his guns w/o a check. Makes sense. jmg257 Sep 2016 #59

No, you don't have it. As long as prosecutors know it was done to protect the gunner and Hoyt Sep 2016 #60

How do they know that? Cause the 2 people involved in the unlawful transaction said so? jmg257 Sep 2016 #72

If one of your gun buddies begs you to take his guns because he's become depressed, tell him you Hoyt Sep 2016 #80

Damn straight - class A misdemeanor is serious shit. jmg257 Sep 2016 #82

You have an interesting trust of law enforcement and prosecutors on this Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #85

"Man ilegally transfers guns of friend facing immenant restraining order to avoid police taking them Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #66

Its also illegal to transfer guns to the police...at least there is no exemption for it. nt jmg257 Sep 2016 #73

Let the spouse claim it was to avoid the guns being taken as she applies for a restraining order Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #67

I once took all of my best friend's guns pinboy3niner Sep 2016 #34
