loss of privilages

[TACTICAL]

I couldn't find anything in the search, but does any misdemeanor cause one to lose his/her gun privilages??
If so then is it temporary and for how long?

[Matt C]

Sure, domestic violence. No, it's not temporary.

Shame too, they used to restore gun rights after some period of good behavior...I belive that is no longer the case.

There's a specific list.

DUIs and simple possession of Marijuana doesn't preclude you. Its late, I'll dig the EXACT ones up tommorow.


Domestic Violence WILL get your stuff taken, and its indefinite, AND it only takes HEAR SAY to make it happen.

The worst part about the Domestic violence bit is it's the "victims" words about a percieved threat and the firearms owner must surrender all firearms to a licensed dealer or the Police department. Usually with in a matter of 48 hours. They must also show proof of dealer sale. A PPT may not work as ridding of firearms depending on the judge. And you can bet that the dealer won't offer much for the guns. I've seen how ugly this can be and if I may be flippant its $50 and a form and gun owner is screwed.

So basically it would probably need to be a serious misdemeanor offense to lose your privilages or is a misdemeanor a misdemeanor .
From what I have heard your can lose firearm possession for 10 years for a misdemeanor.
Thanks for all your reply's

misdemeanor assault, battery, domestic violence... a restraining order, a court finding that you're insane, etc...

Isn't insanity only a 5 year restriction? Hmmm like that makes sense!

Go to page "29" on the PDF (shows page 23 on the actual text inside the PDF)

Persons Convicted of Misdemeanor Violations of Specified Offenses
Any person convicted of a misdemeanor violation for one or more of the following offenses
is prohibited from owning, possessing or having under his or her custody or control any
firearm within 10 years of the conviction

So basically, above are the SPECIFIC misdemeanors that will exempt you. They only exempt you for TEN YEARS from date of the conviction anyway not life like a felony.

Any other misdemeanors that aren't listed, don't count. As soon as you clear probation, you're good to go!


Notice that DUI and drug arrests aren't listed... neither are things like petty theft.

Back in the day...when I was 18....I was charged with possesion of a concealed weapon, a misdemeanor. I was in a car that had a handgun under the front seat. I was in the back, but the officers decided to charge EVERYONE in the car. I was young and dumb and just decided to take the 5 days community service rather than fight it....oh how things would be different if that happened to me now....

I was shocked when the Judge asked me if I personally owned any firearms. I told him I did, I had a couple rifles and a handgun of my own. He ordered me to get them all out of my name and that I could not possess or own a firearm for either 7 or 10 years....cant remember exactly. I was shocked....I didn't know that was going to be part of the punishment when I "took the deal".

I didn't get rid of my guns...in fact, I went out and purchased two more a couple years later and there was no objection from the CADOJ or anyone else. I wonder if Judges sometimes say things they are not going to enforce....or perhaps I just slipped through the cracks....not sure. That Judge would probably wet himself if he took a look at what I have now...

What happens if you're caught with a concealed loaded firearm under your seat today? Is this grounds for them to take all of your arms? (CA)

And what if that firearm (handgun) was not registered?

From my reading of the law, what is really important is if the gun is registered or not. If it is stolen you are up the proverbial creek. If it is registered to you, or the person you borrowed it from then its still only a misdemeanor.

I fixed everything when I became "smart" and actually read the law myself. Now I have the gun on my passenger seat in a locked container. Sure it is unloaded, but the loaded clip is within reach and it takes me all of about 8 seconds to unlock my handgun, and load....completely legal.

I cant see any provision in the law that would allow a Judge to take away your guns for simple Possession of a concealed weapon.

I keep my shotty hanging on hooks behind the seat of the truck, with the action open (and the pistol grip on it)

The shells are on the left of my seat on the floor... It takes me maybe 3 seconds and I got the shotty up from behind the seat and a shell in the ejection port.

To me a shotty is the perfect truck gun (in Califas anyway)

But you are going to have a tough time carrying that shotgun around with you on the street...I mean....that is unless you want everyone to know you are carrying it.

With my current handgun setup....all I have to do it pickup my backpack, which has my pistol in its locked case, and put my clip in my pocket.

Single point sling, with a pistol grip, under a jacket... never even know its there

The funny thing is, an M4 w/a collapsed stock is actually 1" shorter than an 18" mossberg w/a pistol grip!


I don't carry a firearm in public. I got some knives and I got my shotty in my truck. If stuff pops off to the point I need a gun, I'll jog to the truck and get it.

I'm a hermit anyway, I rarely go anywhere or leave my house. Ask RSSSLVR he'll tell you. I can CCW in my living room all I want hahaha
