This is where I had the rub with my brothers handler...loosecannon wrote:The feds say no guns and no access to them. So, a gun safe keeps everybody out of trouble including the lawful owner, who might otherwise be charged with allowing access.
I know of one case where a guy(technically in violation)was forced to plead guilty to possession; if not, the feds would prosecute his wife for providing access. She owned her late father's guns. This no access/no possession rule also applies to ammo.
She told me that I could not have one in my posession at all when I was in proximity to my brother...Regardless if it was holstered, under my control, spare magazine in my back pocket, the whole smack...CHL and all...
I counted to ten and let it go...
She also told me that if he visited me at my home (even if she just heard about it), that she would find him in violation, and me complicite in allowing him to be around guns, even if they were locked up ammo and all in my gunsafe...
She said she'd just let the court sort it out...And if I raised a question (or in her words "stink" about it) she'd lower the boom...
There is just something here that kinda bugs me for some reason...I'm afraid to put my finger on it for fear I will poke a bigger hole in the dike...(pardon the pun)...
