| I have an employee that got into some trouble in his early years but has kept his nose clean (literally) for several years now, but he does have a felony conviction. He paid his price and is no longer on parole. I would like to take him shooting but I am not sure about the law. Can he not be around guns, hold a gun? Could he shoot my guns with my direct supervision ie; under my control? Or is all a NO GO? |
| He is not allowed to be "in possession" of a firearm. He can sit there and watch you, but he can't touch them what-so-ever. What he needs to do is go to the court that he was convicted in (assuming it is in AZ) and ask for restoration of rights application and fill it out. However, he must be 5 years removed from the end of his sentence. So if he was on probation, and got off 4 years ago, he would need to wait another year before requesting his firearm rights to be restored. He can however request his other rights at any time after the end of his sentence (Voting). Depending on the county, he can also request a "vacate judgement of guilt". These request are filed all the time and are often approved in most counties as long as he hasn't had any further arrests, paid his fines and fees in full, and fulfilled any other court obligation. |

Good post sir. What he said, could really add anything. |

All this is true, but I wouldn't even take him shooting. Him just being there gives him access to weapons and you don't want to have to argue that you were never going to let him touch one. |

Currently as it stands you would not be in any trouble with him being in your presend while you handle your firearms and ammo.
If he chooses to be around you during your shooting time it could be dicey for him. I convincing others he didn't touch etc. As for restoring his rights from what I understand Obama abministration has interfered with the states ability to restore gun rights. (Made it very difficult) He will need to find a knowledgeable lawyer. I wish him luck. |
