Missouri Amendment 5, passed in 2016, states that citizens have the right to bear arms and includes protections for the rights of law-abiding citizens to possess firearms. However, it does not automatically restore gun rights to felons; individuals convicted of certain felonies in Missouri typically remain ineligible to own firearms unless their rights are restored through a specific legal process. Therefore, while Amendment 5 affirms the right to bear arms, it does not grant felons the right to possess guns without further action.
The basic short answer is yes, the spouse can own a gun. There is nothing in the law that prohibits the spouse of a felon from owing a gun, however, the problems arise when or if the person that is the felon has any reasonable access to the gun.
In most states. NO! But check with local law enforcement to verify your right to own a gunFirearm ownership for a convicted felon is prohibited by Federal law which supersedes State laws, so the answer is NO.
17th amendment
Yes, all lenders are equal oppertunity lenders. It would be discrimantion if they did not let you refi based just on the fact that you were a felon
"Be around?" Yes. However, the felon cannot have access to the gun.Added: NO! Definitely NOT! "Being around" a gun places the felon in what is known in the law as CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION of the firearm which is enough to put him in prison.It depends on the definition of "being around." I discussed this specifically last year with the local DA in my area because someone I know was a felon, but he comes over to my house occassionally. The DA said that as long as the person doesn't have access to the firearm (IE: the firearm is locked up), he is not in violation. I also specifically asked him about a spouse of a felon living in the same house and he said that the same thing applies. If the gun is locked up and not accessible to the felon, there is no violation. And to futher my answer: some high courts have held to this, such as Commonwealth v. Heidler, which holds constructive possession only applies if it can be proven that the felon "had both the power to control and the intent to control the firearm."
yes another planet. only thing i can think of? otherwise perhaps another country but most of them wont let you become a resident because of the felony. unlesss you are rich...... The answer is, nowhere. Once you are a felon, you are always a felon, period, unless you have been acquitted of the charges.
Oh, dude, reporting a convicted felon with a firearm is like reporting a fish for swimming. You just call the police or the ATF and let them handle it. It's not exactly rocket science, but it's definitely not something you wanna ignore. Just make the call and let the professionals deal with it.
"Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto" is the official state motto for Missouri. It is Latin and means "Let the welfare of the people be the supreme law."
They let me.
Ooooooooo, good question! In most states it is illegal for a convicted felon to possess a handgun, no matter what. In this situation you could legally protect yourself with a handgun (if the situation allows you to use deadly force that is), but you would still be breaking the law by possessing a handgun. Would they let the handgun charge slide? it depends on the judge and your priors.
a felon, I believe, cannot own a gun, regardless of their sentence. You can call your state representative to check, but I'm pretty sure, because they do background checks. I think they disregard midemenors, but felonies, i think they wouldn't let you own a gun.ADDED: Regardless of the length of the sentence you received - it is the offense you were convicted of which counts. If you were convicted of a felony crime, you cannot possess a firearm of any type (exept certain specified antiques).
No
