are my gun rights restored?

[jchung725]

Is that all it takes to be a Nazi state now, lay down ten year firearms bans for people who do dangerous stupid **** with guns?

I'm sorry that I'm not a perfect angel like you, sir. I do make mistakes, which all people do. Some do more dumb things than others, WHICH I've learned my lessons. I did and still do admit that it was dumb.

I was in the military when this happened and Uncle Sam still trusted me and kept me in the military to send me out on two deployments. I served 7 years of active duty and still serving in the reserves.

I've posted this thread to ask and I knew I would face someone like you, sir. I'm good to purchase firearms anywhere except California. That's why I call this state, Nazi. Please don't judge without knowing the whole story. What have you done for your country?

I'm not a perfect legal angel either, but California is hardly a "Nazi state" because it tries to keep guns out of the hands of confirmed dumbasses.

So it happened a long time ago and you have learned your lesson and now you don't do stupid **** anymore. I believe you and think that's great. I still don't find it unreasonable for the state to come down hard - I mean very hard, like a ten year firearms prohibition - on people who willfully fire their guns into the air in a populated area, especially when they are drunk, as so many people are on New Years Eve.

If I ever did anything like that, I would be thankful indeed if a ten year firearms prohibition was all that happened to me.

If you're not a perfect angel, then you should know what dumb s*** people do. Don't get me wrong, I still do dumb things but I can live with that because I AM A HUMAN BEING and human beings do dumb things. Confirm dumbasses? dumbass is a person who do dumb things and don't learn from the experience and make the same mistakes again, imho. I respect that you're a person who is straight as an arrow. I am not. I didn't portray myself as that. I don't see the point of your comments where you indirectly call someone a "confirmed dumbass" when that person is simply here to ask a question and CLEARLY ADMITS that it was dumb mistake. Well, thanks for the life lesson. Admin, please close this thread before this thread turns sours. Thank you.

Question. Does your service in the reserves ever require you to possess a firearm inside the state of California?

If it does, when you do, you will be committing IIRC a felony, prohibited person in possession of a firearm.

Something to think about and holefully avoid until your rights in CA are restored.

WTF is a "wobbler"...?

[ojisan]

A wobbler is a crime that can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony.

That doesn't apply. We had some people in my unit when I was in the reserves who were able to check out their M16A2 from the armory for exercises who had restraining orders from a divorce. For instance, if the OP was in an exercise in 29 Palms and his NCOIC told him he needed to check out his weapon from the armory, he's not breaking any law by doing so. Maybe the military has changed from when I was in, but the military tends to follow its own rules.

It's not the military that needs to be worried about, it is the state of California that would have a problem with it. Within the state of CA he is a prohibited person. Should the state authorities get wind of him being in possession of a firearm, they could send him to jail for being a prohibited person in posession of a firearm.

I think there would be an exemption IF the shooting/practice took place on federally owned land. No CA jurisdiction.

Sorry peeps buy only thing that can restrained u from a firearm in the military is the laughtenburg act. A cmitted felony under the laughtemburg act scope. Otherwise ur good to go. That is with the military.

Sorry to say, but military bases in CA are "shared jurisdiction".
If it is a state law that is broken, the state can prosecute. If it is a UCMJ violation, the military can prosecute. If it is a Federal law violation, the Feds can prosecute.

If a military member has a TRO in CA, he cannot possess a firearm in CA, even on base. This doesn't affect the members ability to deploy as he can still be armed outside CA.

While it is highly unlikely the OP will get caught if he should handle a firearm in CA while on his weekend duty, the chance is there and the risk should be considered.
