ABDW can they own a gun?
Not sure if this is the right forum, I have a friend who was charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon(not a gun) when he was younger and did 30 days in prison. Is it worth trying to get a license in ma?

A guy that I work with got arrested about 10years ago for domestic abuse and while they were taking him away yelled "I'll kill you" to his wife in front of 2 cops. He tried applying for his LTC a few years later and couldn't understand why they wouldn't give it to him, some people are truly dopes!

Anyone convicted of a "violent crime" is statutorily prohibited for life!
Yes ABDW (even with an unshod foot) is under MGL considered a "violent crime"!Mass. Gun Laws By and For Non-Lawyers (How To Stay Legal and Out of Trouble) - Seminar

If said individual was never convicted, he could has been under the misconception that he was entitled to due process, and could only be punished via deprivation of a constitutional right after conviction, a guilty plea, or when charges were still pending (which is how things are handled in the shall issue states).

It's my understanding that with that type of conviction, he's done (prohibited), in all states and federally, for life. (Barring a pardon/rehabilitation (?) of his rights.)
What is this garbage? I want to watch the news.

"Charged" and denied bail (hence "prison" time)? Or "convicted"? Originally Posted by mordeeb
