Well...... YEAH we do, if that's what keeps us out of prison!omegaman wrote:Yeah, but we don't really care about federal regulations here in Texas, do we?As described, it would appear that the juvenile's conduct does not meet any of the exceptions under 922(x).
18 USC 922(x)
Sheesh!
We especially care about federal law when we are giving bad legal advice to someone else's minor child.
BTW, "care about" doesn't necessarily mean "approve of". I care about having a murderer loose in my neighborhood, but I don't approve of it. I don't have a problem with a 17 year old having a Glock pistol. I gave MY son a pistol before he turned 18. But he only used it legally, in my presence, and he did not keep it in his car under MPA because I would have whupped his behind if he had. He knew better. I had NO problem with him having a Mossberg in the trunk of his car after he turned 18. But you (or anyone else, for that matter) shouldn't dispense legal advice about firearms to a minor who is not your own child, regardless of whether or not you attend the same church. I would have been mad as heck at anyone trying to give my son incorrect legal advice about carrying a gun in his car when he was a minor, church brother or not, and I would make sure that he understood in no uncertain terms that he was out of line.
And this doesn't include what could happen to an impressionable young man who follows the bad advice given to him by an adult.
I can't be the only one who thinks it's disturbing.
