Question

my gun / his old felony


I live in Washington State.

For the last 25 years or so I have owned a legal gun, and own it legally. NO trouble. It is a rifle. I use it for hunting, sniping varmits (I live way out in the country), and for home protection. A couple times a year I'll target shoot, all on my own property.

Six years ago I married. HE has an old Class B felony conviction from 15 years ago (he sold a marijuana roach in the parking lot at an indian reservation casino during a drunken gambling binge ) Long before he met me, he satisfied all the requirements of his conviction: time served (two weeks), small fine, paid all costs, q year probation, no subsequent convictions or arrests), and his civil rights....EXCEPT his 2nd amendment right...were automatically restored by the State of Washington.

Fast forward to now: could it possibly be that MY right to keep and bear arms is abridged by HIS old felony conviction? ...and that I don't have the right to keep my old, and trusted firearm?

Yikes!

You right to keep and bear arms is not being violated. His right to live in
the same house as your firearm is the issue.

To see if you can get his right to possess a firearm reinstated:

good point. It appears the writer is looking for both keeping the gun and the felonious monk.
