State Laws

The federal laws governing firearms do not classify muzzleloaders as a "firearm" , and in most states you can buy one with no paperwork or background check. However that does not make it technically legal for a felon to poses it. I have read of cases pertaining to this where the person was hassled at great expense in time and money by local law enforcement regardless of the intended use, only to be convicted on possession of explosives charges for having black powder. The "best practice" I have heard of is obtaining a waiver from BATFE or your local jurisdiction so you have paper in hand showing proof of legal possession, after all it is not worth your time, money or potential freedom dealing with an over zealous prosecutor or non gun friendly jurisdiction when a simple document could prevent it. This topic has been discussed at length for years both pro and con, and what it boils down to is a case by case determination. You can go to free advice.com ( http://forum.freeadvice.com/other-crimes-federal-state-4/ex-felons-black-powder-weapons-legal-386903.html) or better yet to the BATF site ( http://www.atf.gov/firearms/index.htm) and get a more direct answer for your state and county, but the best advice would be to speak to an authority in your state or to BATFE to be 100% sure.

Yes.

You become a resident of California by LIVING in California, this has nothing to do with marriage or legal status- an illegal can be a resident of California

Yes, only the employers and not the employees. However, there are classes of employers not subject to payroll taxes if they employ independent contractors, or some seasonal work, etc. Each state decides its own classification.

In the United States, the legal age to purchase alcohol is 21. It is illegal to purchase or consume alcohol if you are under 21. However, In many countries the legal drinking age starts at 16-years-old and 18-years-old.

Yes you can vote in the state of Alabama as long as you were not convicted of a violent crime. If your felony was severe you will need either a partial or full pardon. Partial restores the right to vote among others. A full pardon will restore all rights including your right to own a firearm. They say only 2% who apply for a full pardon actually get a full pardon. As of this time last year they were backed up 2 years. If you are only wanting to hunt. There are other options; there is bow and arrow, crossbow, and I believe black powder. I think the black powder was considered to be different type of firearm. You would have to check Alabama's code of law on this, maybe even have a lawyer look into it before purchasing a blackpowder rifle.

No you do not need a special license in FL. You do have to pass a felony background check in order to use a TASER. This just takes a few minutes and it is performed by TASER International. A background check is necessary prior to purchasing the TASER X26 model because it is sent to the customer in an active state. A background check is not necessary to purchase a TASER C2 because it is sent to the customer in an innactive state. But in order to activate or use the TASER C2, you need to call TASER International for a background felony check. Either way, you end up having to go through a background check in order to use the TASERS.

If you have legal proof for entering the US you can have a license converted to a US licence. Some states allow a license with less documentation. Read this link for states that have less requirements: http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2007-11-15-mexicolicense_N.htm. More: A valid Mexican driver's license may allow you to drive within the United States (though you would need to check with each state's DMV since laws can differ) but typically insurance companies within the US will require you to obtain a valid license from a State within a short period of time of starting up an auto insurance policy." ©2008 CarInsurance.com, Inc. retrieved from http://www.carinsurance.com/kb/content16969.aspx. Good luck! T.

Per A.R.S. §13-2508 "Resisting Arrest" occurs when a person intentionally prevents or attempts to prevent a person "reasonably" known to him to be Peace Officer and acting in his official authority, from effectuating an arrest by either using, or threatening to use physical force against the Peace Officer or another person, or using any other means creating a substantial risk of causing physical injury to the Peace Officer or another.

The statute is very broad, and criminalizes a wide range of conduct. Merely pulling away from an officer after they have grabbed you, or taking an offensive posture (i.e., a "fighting stance") towards the officer when he/she is attempting to place you into custody are grounds for a Resisting Arrest charge.

Resisting Arrest is a class six (6) felony.

No, misdemeanors do not disqualify on for US Citizenship or I wouldn't be one. ...Now a felony would prevent you from being granted citizenshp - the only exception are 'felony conviction from countries that the US finds the judical system questionable, ie: if there is no separation of executive and judical branches, like Iran. In frienly allieed countries the 'nature of the crime' would come into question, ie: no violence, drugs, arms, trafficking etc. If you were in default of a law suit, which in some contries can become flonies, then that is what they consider 'understandable circumstance'. Also, if its a law that wouldn't hold up in a US court then the odds are you will not be rejected because of it. So, to answer the question... if you misdeameanor was for possession of amphetamines with intent to sell -or- possession of a firearm that was not licensed to you, well those kind of misdemeanors cold keep you on the other side of the gates. ...at which point you simply fly to Tijuana Mexico on a weekend and walk back on a Fri or Sat night with all of the tourists and partiers who make the 15 minute trip down from San Diego... and they NEVER chek for IDs on that walk across. ...driving, you'd need to be with a US licensed driver with you as the passenger and NO luggage.

The being permited to drive on a state's highways is not a god-given right from the heavens; it comes from the State House, and is called a "privilage."

It is not a right. Once you get past that post-adolescent point, it is a lot easer to understand the rules of the road. (and that they count toward your insurance rates, points for ever driving without real harassment: probablly earned.)

So, given the question, 'how can a state supend a license that is not valid?'. Well, probabally the holder of the license when in control of a vehicle, just should have been arrested when the on-board computer came up with the information about the already invalid license.

Then it'd be an easer question. Getting out of jail is simple, when there are neither property damage, tissue damage or really serious intangable damages....

In most states: driving without a license, driving without a valid license, just being in control of a vehicle without a valid liscense...can be very expensive for a very long time.

It's sort of minor if you are young enough and like public transportation.

If a state suspends a license which is not valid in the first place, and the State knows it, you should generally chalk it up to the entrenched layers of government which just missed that the license was invalid in the first place and somebody was driving on it.

The person should consider themselves fortunate that they are not in the slammer.

Wow. Grumpy ol SOB huh?

It is just a civil offense. It isn't considered a misdemeanor and will not show up on a background check on the first or second offense. In Maine you can pay off the fine before having your court date to eliminate going to court. On the first offense it's a $250 fine.

get married in the State of both your choosing. Yours, hers, or simply choose another. Whether or not you have a ceremony does not matter, documents still have to go to the courthouse and sign for it to be legal.

In Alaska, speed limits in some rural areas may be 65 mph, but drivers are warned that frost heaves and moose pose serious hazards. There may not be guardrails where drivers from out of state might expect them. Although most paved roads have wide shoulders, there are also stretches were shoulders are narrow or nonexistent. Winter driving -- between October and April, depending on the location -- brings its own hazards of ice, snow and wind although the state Department of Transportation does a pretty good job of clearing the roads.

Best answer I can think of is NO Unless the Kid is in Scouts or something related. I suspect the question is related to self defence, Then the answer is a DOUBLE NO !!!!!!You would only get into a whole world of hurt ..... And most likely your own.

No. "Convicted felon in possession of a firearm" is a violation of FEDERAL law (US Code, Title 18) and an expungement in OH has no bearing on your status. (Your criminal history record is always accessible to government agencies.)

in any state wife is responsible for husband even if husband passed that is what insurance protects your loved one's from unfortunally she is responsible for all debts he has

you get to be your own boss,and you get to choose when you work and when you dont, and youmake a very good bit of money when you have a big farm.

This decision of 1842 seems pretty conclusive:

(see below link)

From the page:

"The ruling upheld the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution in which federal laws take precedence over state laws when regulating the same activity. The Commerce Clause of the Constitution is one major avenue for the national government to exercise its authority over states. From the 1930s New Deal era through the 1970s the federal government significantly grew by increasingly regulating many facets of life. By the 1980s states' rights proponents began to reverse the trend. Debates over federal controls continued into the late 1990s focused on proposed national health care reforms.

At the center of issues intensively debated by the founders of the United States was federalism, the distribution of power between the federal and state governments. Dispute over the degree of centralization of political power in the United States highlighted by debates between Alexander Hamilton and JamesMadison led to formation of the first political parties in the nation. As a result, the Supremacy Clause was written into Article IV of the Constitution providing the primary basis for the federal government's power over states. The article states the "acts of the Federal Government are operational as supreme law throughout the Union . . . enforceable in all courts of the land. Thestates have no power to impede, burden, or in any manner control the operation of" federal law."

11357 HS refers to California Health & safety Code section 11357 which is the law criminalizing marijuana possession. There are different subsections depending on amount and concentrated or not concentrated.

It's not actually a "penal code" section. Most drug offenses are covered under the Health & Safety Code.
---------
Possession of marijuana.
11357. (a) Except as authorized by law, every person who possesses any concentrated cannabis shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for a period of not more than one year or by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500), or by both such fine and imprisonment, or shall be punished by imprisonment in the state
prison.
(b) Except as authorized by law, every person who possesses not more than 28.5 grams of marijuana, other than concentrated cannabis, is guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars ($100). Notwithstanding other provisions of law, if such person has been previously convicted three or more times of an offense described in this subdivision during the two-year period immediately preceding the date of commission of the violation to be charged, the previous convictions shall also be charged in the accusatory pleading and, if found to be true by the jury upon a jury trial or by the court upon a court trial or if admitted by the person, the provisions of Sections 1000.1 and 1000.2 of the Penal Code shall be applicable to him, and the court shall divert and refer him for education, treatment, or rehabilitation, without a court hearing or determination or the concurrence of the
district attorney, to an appropriate community program which will accept him. If the person is so diverted and referred he shall not be subject to the fine specified in this subdivision. If no community program will accept him, the person shall be subject to the fine specified in this subdivision. In any case in which a person is arrested for a violation of this subdivision and does not demand to be taken before a magistrate, such person shall be released by the arresting officer upon presentation of satisfactory evidence of identity and giving his written promise to appear in court, as provided in Section 853.6 of the Penal Code, and shall not be subjected to booking.
(c) Except as authorized by law, every person who possesses more than 28.5 grams of marijuana, other than concentrated cannabis, shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for a period of not more than six months or by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500), or by both such fine and imprisonment.
(d) Except as authorized by law, every person 18 years of age or over who possesses not more than 28.5 grams of marijuana, other than concentrated cannabis, upon the grounds of, or within, any school providing instruction in kindergarten or any of grades 1 through 12 during hours the school is open for classes or school-related
