As you are not able to use basic judgment with your car...Why would the state think you could use judgment with the gun?I live in sc and was sentenced to 1 year suspended to 90 days hip. I read where you cant own a firearm if committed of a crime carry a sentence EXCEEDING a year but mine didnt exceed a year. Do i have grounds for an appeal?
Superior point, Blue.As you are not able to use basic judgment with your car...Why would the state think you could use judgment with the gun?
Here is a link to the Smart Gun Laws Organization with a list of those who are (generally) prohibited from purchasing guns in South Carolina: http://smartgunlaws.org/prohibited-purchasers-generally-in-south-carolina/I live in sc and was sentenced to 1 year suspended to 90 days hip. I read where you cant own a firearm if committed of a crime carry a sentence EXCEEDING a year but mine didnt exceed a year. Do i have grounds for an appeal?
Where did you read about this?I live in sc and was sentenced to 1 year suspended to 90 days hip. I read where you cant own a firearm if committed of a crime carry a sentence EXCEEDING a year but mine didnt exceed a year. Do i have grounds for an appeal?
Then you really need to see the definition section(g) It shall be unlawful for any person—
(1) who has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year;
.
.
.
to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.
If this, indeed, is the section you are referring to, then more information is required. Is a dui 2nd a misdemeanor and punishable by a term of imprisonment of two years or less? I've seen that with a high enough bac, you may be punished by up to three years in jail, so that part would certainly qualify.(a) As used in this chapter—
.
.
.
(20) The term “crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year” does not include—
(A) any Federal or State offenses pertaining to antitrust violations, unfair trade practices, restraints of trade, or other similar offenses relating to the regulation of business practices, or
(B) any State offense classified by the laws of the State as a misdemeanor and punishable by a term of imprisonment of two years or less.
What constitutes a conviction of such a crime shall be determined in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction in which the proceedings were held. Any conviction which has been expunged, or set aside or for which a person has been pardoned or has had civil rights restored shall not be considered a conviction for purposes of this chapter, unless such pardon, expungement, or restoration of civil rights expressly provides that the person may not ship, transport, possess, or receive firearms.
What is the gun concern? Do you own one or want to purchase one?... Do i have grounds for an appeal?
So were you TOLD that you can't own a firearm and if so, by whom? Based upon just what you've said here that's not true.I live in sc and was sentenced to 1 year suspended to 90 days hip. I read where you cant own a firearm if committed of a crime carry a sentence EXCEEDING a year but mine didnt exceed a year. Do i have grounds for an appeal?
