This is a common question, and there is very little data, as no one seems to be compiling it.
Most of the time, AW ban charges are plead down or dropped in favor of a guilty plea on something else. In one case that I know of personally, the rifle in question (post-ban AR with FS) was confiscated, and the owner was given 1 year probation. However, I don't know all the details regarding how the final outcome was arrived at. DAs have lots of discretion on what they charge, what they allow to be pled down, etc. -Troy |

The owners of a California gunstore in the bay area were busted for selling Postban Ruger 10/22's and folding stocks in the same transaction. Only federal AW ban prosecution i know of.

Here in the 4th Circuit I have seen cases involving configuration violations. However, they were secondary to multi-count drug conspiracy cases (that went back sometimes 8 years!) and were chump change. Always plead down or straight out. I have yet to see a case based on a 922 violation alone, however, don't ever count on odds- keep it legal.

(1) Send a Freedom of Information Act Request to the ATF, naming this guy by name, asking for all information relating to him. (should be 5-10 bucks)
(2) Call your local federal courthouse with his name, get the case number, and then order a copy of the court file. (should be 25-50 bucks)Will take a few weeks if the file is more than 4 or 5 years old. |
