State Laws

Laws vary place to place. In the US, there are over 2,000 Federal and State gun laws. Some states do not have a law that requires a license to carry a concealed firearm. MOST states do not require a license to openly wear a firearm. Depends on where you are. And you did not tell us where you are, so we can't really answer.

If you steal something with your arms (and hands) then you are an armed robber. Armed robbery is when you steal from somebody using your arms to carry what you steal.

No its not. Armed robbery is when you use force or a weapon to gain access into someones home, which in that case has to be when someone is home in order to inflict intimidation upon to gain access. Someone who is an armed robber would be someone who chooses to rob a home while someone is there by way of force, intimidation, and/or with a weapon.

A "robbery" is committed when one person gains possession or control of another person's property by force or the threat of force. The robbery is "armed" when the threat of force involves an actual or implied weapon.

(In the US) All sworn police officers, whether they carry out traffic duties or not, are armed. If you are referring to uniformed civilian parking officers, or uniformed civilian aides who may, or may not, direct traffic at school crossings or busy intersections, they usually are not. It is generally easy to tell if a uniformed officer is armed by observing whether or not they are carrying a service weapon in a holster on their belts.

It depends on where in are, and exactly what you mean by the question. In most of the United States, there is no such thing as registration, so the term "registration" is irrelevant in regards to guns. But, to further answer the question, it may not be legal to have a loaded gun that is accessible in your car without a permit depending on what state you are in. In Tennessee for instance, you can only legally carry a loaded gun on your person or have it accessible in your car if you have a permit. You can, however, transport an unloaded pistol without a permit.

Only a few, but I don't remember which ones, except for Illinois.

That depends on the type of body armor, but usually the bullet deforms and is slowed down by the fabric of the body armor and the energy is displaced throughout the vest. The bullet may or may not remain in the fabric of the vest.

It is 21 in the ENTIRE United States.

It's pretty useless to fight extradiction. If you were arrested in another state, within a week you'd be in front of a judge for your extradition hearing. I think it's more or less a formality, but a lawyer could tell you more. Many people just waive their right to an extradition hearing.

Provided you comply with all local, state and federal laws, yes.

How do you prepare a lien for an automobile?

It can be requested. Depending upon circumstances (your record - what kind of weapon was used - did any injury result - etc - etc) it MAY be granted. The trick might be in finding a bailbondsman to put up your bond.

Of course not! People carry pocket knives a lot. Why shouldn't they be able to carry around steak knives, butter knives, butcher knives, or penknives?

The IRS can not garnish your unemployment. They usually garnish bank accounts and wages. You can get into a resolution with the IRS and not have to worry about a garnishment at all.

In fact, if your are getting unemployment, let them know and they can list your debt to them as unrecoverable at this time. Once you are working again, you need to call the IRS and they will set up a payment plan for you to get caught up.

The age of consent varies from state to state.

Check your paperwork, your travel restrictions should all be contained there. If you are on FELONY probation the likliehood is very high that you have some kind of travel restriction imposed on you. Ask your parole officer.

Generally, yes, but you need to check each state's laws separately. In some states you might not be able to carry it, but you can probably transport it.

A TASER can be put in your checked baggage. You do however need to know the laws where you are traveling. As mentioned they are illegal in some areas and like a CHL it is your responsiblity to know the law when traveling with these.

(1) A person is guilty of harassment if:

(a) Without lawful authority, the person knowingly threatens:

(i) To cause bodily injury immediately or in the future to the person threatened or to any other person; or

(ii) To cause physical damage to the property of a person other than the actor; or

(iii) To subject the person threatened or any other person to physical confinement or restraint; or

(iv) Maliciously to do any other act which is intended to substantially harm the person threatened or another with respect to his or her physical or mental health or safety; and

(b) The person by words or conduct places the person threatened in reasonable fear that the threat will be carried out. "Words or conduct" includes, in addition to any other form of communication or conduct, the sending of an electronic communication.

(2)(a) Except as provided in (b) of this subsection, a person who harasses another is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.

(b) A person who harasses another is guilty of a class C felony if either of the following applies: (i) The person has previously been convicted in this or any other state of any crime of harassment, as defined in RCW 9A.46.060, of the same victim or members of the victim's family or household or any person specifically named in a no-contact or no-harassment order; or (ii) the person harasses another person under subsection (1)(a)(i) of this section by threatening to kill the person threatened or any other person.

(3) The penalties provided in this section for harassment do not preclude the victim from seeking any other remedy otherwise available under law. [2003 c 53 § 69; 1999 c 27 § 2; 1997 c 105 § 1; 1992 c 186 § 2; 1985 c 288 § 2.]

If you were laid off or fired from a full time, you may be able to collect. Eligibility depends on the number of hours you worked over how many quarters for that company. If you were part time, probably not.

Yes, statewide since May 18, 2009. In Washington state, they are legally the equivalent of marriage, except that they are not called "marriages." However, on June 30, 2014, all state-registered Washington state domestic partnerships that have not been dissolved by that date will automatically convert to marriages, regardless of where the parties to the marriage live. After that date, state registered domestic partnerships will only be available in Washington state to persons sixty-two years of age or older.

In addition, four cities have their own domestic partnership registries: Lacey, Olympia, Seattle and Tumwater.

(Same-sex marriage is legal in Washington state effective November 6, 2012.)

The Dutch Criminal Code, Articles 245 and 247 specify that 16 years old is the age of consent. Anyone having sex with someone below that age could be subject to criminal prosecution. VERY VERY RARELY ENFORCED!

The likely sentence for any criminal offence depends on legislation in your area and how those laws are enforced within the justice system in your area, and upon the offence committed, and upon the person charged with committing the offence, as well as upon the circumstances of the offence.

There is no universal or even narrowly local penalty for any specific, broadly-defined, offence.
