Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

I'd stay away from a charactor like that.

Or why are. You trying to convince him to go to church? Seems like you're bribing him into it. Kind of like those friends that hit you up for lunch, only to try to sell you cutco knives or ACN crap. Just hit him up and hang out at a restaurant or sports bar. Get to know each other again without putting yourself in a bad situation. From first hand experience of having friends like him, you can't trust junkies or former junkies right off the bat. It's like you have to get to know them again. Sad but true

Yeah, no doubt, but not everyone believes those laws are just or chooses to recognize them. OP sounds like he's on a humanitarian mission, and would do well to show some discretion (in my opinion) out of personal preservation, not because of the law but because other people can be unpredictable when they've been out of touch for so long.

It doesn't matter whether you think the laws are just or not.

If the OP lets his friend hold a gun or ammunition, unless his friend has had all his rights restored, the OP (and his friend) can go to federal prison for five years (and lose gun rights on top of that).

hes not a thief (that I know of) just a dumbass who tried a lot of drugs. He lives over an hour away and this is really an attempt to fellowship him to church again. I just dont have much to offer besides guns or talking politics which I dont imagine will be very useful on a stoner.

Edit: ya I just google searched and you guys are right. So I cant take him shooting. That sucks but alright. Ill have think of something else.

Take him bowling...












With a church group.

Might want to ask yourself if this is someone you want knowing about your firearms AT ALL.

FIFY

I applaud your efforts in trying to help someone....... but do you know if he even *wants* help?

You know the old, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink kind of a deal.


Anyhoo - assuming he wants your help (some people are turned off by religious sales pitches) - what does *HE* like to do? (then or now) - are there any commonalities that you like as well?

If HE wants help, I'd start with something that he would show interest in, not something that YOU have interest in..... by my way of thinking that would increase your chances of success.

Just my two cents.

[HonkingAntelope]

Maybe Ill take him bow hunting down the road or something.

If the friend is on parole, he'd be prohibited from having ANYTHING that could be used as a weapon, let alone a blade or a bow.

California and Federal prosecutors do.

The guys working the gas showers at Auschwitz did too.
