This is off topic but since you are a LEO maybe you can answer this question. I drive a standard shift Yaris and when I'm stopped at a stop sign or red light on a hill, drivers behind me come right up to my back bumper almost. There is a danger of rolling back into the car behind me. Is there...
Thanks for the link. The changes aren't really significant. I couldn't imagine any Shariff granting a felon who is still on parole or probation a permit to possess a firearm which by the way would still most likely have place such a felon in violation of federal law. It's strange though that...
Looks like a third offense would be a felony. The first and second offense would be true misdemeanors and not predicate offenses under federal or state firearm law.
Firefighter do you know if showing a police officer the NICS number will let them know you are not prohibited. As I stated before I think that police officers need only to see that someone is a felon with firearm and they can arrest that person regardless of their legal status. I could be...
A good person to ask this is Firefighter. But I think there is a section on the form which explains that if you have had your rights restored or been pardoned you may answer no to that question. It's been a long time since I have read one of those forms though. I think the 4473 may be...
Thanks, I have done a lot of research for the last 5 years on both Louisiana state law and federal law regarding felons and firearm possession and I have acquired a lot of knowledge and insight on the subject. I'm not a lawyer however so to anyone reading my posts and replies please seek...
Hello to everyone here I'm new to this forum and this is my first thread. I hate to start my first thread with this but I've been reading a thread started by Firefighter about felons with Louisiana convictions getting their firearm rights back. I'm glad to see that some folks here who have...
Firefighter I'm glad to hear you can enjoy your 2nd amendment right to own firearms again but please be aware that cops are not lawyers. Most do not have a full understanding of either state or federal laws regarding felons and firearms. I've met a lot of cops who think that you still have to...
Change it how? Can you post the name of the bill or a link? This reminds me of somthing else very important that firefighter and others should take not of. Keep tabs on any changes to RS 14 95.1. If the Louisiana legislature were to change that law to restrict felons from ever owning...
If you are restricted from owning a firearm in anyway my advice is DO NOT POSSESS A FIREARM! The reason I state this is because federal law probably will not recognize a temporary shariffs permit as removing the state firearm restriction and as long as you are prohibited by the state you are...
There is no Louisiana law or provision other than a Governers pardon that will remove the 10 year restriction under RS 14 95.1. However if your crime is not an enumerated offense under RS 14 95.1, this law does not apply to you and you can own a firearm upon completion of your sentence.;)
The first offender pardon does not restore the right to own a firearm. In fact it will state this right on the pardon if your crime is enumerated in RS 14 95.1 and you are restricted by it. Also RS 14 95.1 actually does not affirmatively restore firearm rights. It prohibits the possession of a...
What do you do at the court house? Obviously you're not a lawyer because everything you stated is only true if you are still within the 10 year statutory prohibition period prescribed in RS 14 95.1. US v. Dupaquier, 74 F. 3d 615 - Court of Appeals, 5th Circuit 1996 precludes felons with...
