No, it makes him a scofflaw. He's not a criminal until caught and convicted of a crime.DEB wrote:I have got a question for all: What if a New Yorker waited until after the ban, makes him a criminal right?
First of all, you're not a felon unless you've been convicted. Secondly, unless he was caught and charged with a crime somewhere along the way, there would be nothing to extradite him for. In Texas it's perfectly legal to own the firearms that New York has declared illegal.DEB wrote:Escapes, by driving, from New York and comes to Texas with his banned firearms/magazines? Would Texas be obligated to arrest this person? He did break the law in New York and drove here through states where it is, or will be illegal to own an AR. I don't know all the laws, but as he was traveling, isn't he in fact a Felon with a weapon, crossing state lines and etc?
