kicked out of the German Army after a short time, legally purchase and

    I bought a broken Marlin Camp 9 carbine. While I was trying to discover how to fix it online I discovered a "How To" that showed how to convert that gun to fully automatic fire.

    Question; is it against the law to have and to share that information?

    Okay, in the state of California it is illegal to have a handgun with a magazine capacity of more than 10 rounds. In Montana it is legal. So lets say I live in California and one day I am caught with an 11 round magazine and convicted in a court of law. I believe that current state and federal law now prohibits me from owning ANY firearms. However, what if I moved to Montana. Since the law I violated in California isnt a law in Montana, do I now regain my right to own a firearm in that state ?

    An individual 18 years of age or older may purchase a rifle or shotgun from a federally licensed dealer in any state.

    when i think of rifle, i think of bolt action. so what i need to know is does this includes ak47s. i know thats a dumb question but i want to make sure.

    Ok here it is. I have a kid at work who is a smart alec who doesn't listen. This is in Ohio He is not bad yet but heading there. Tonight he brought a BB pistol on the property. I told him no weapons, take it home.
    He is the type who will bring it back again. I had to file a report on the incident and I know his dad will see this report.
    The last line of the report I am going to put that this is his only warning, next time I will call the police for underage possesion of a firearm. Is this actually considered underage possession of a firearm. What are some of the consequeses so I can let his father know what might happen to his kid. (The local cops will most likely give him a break the first time also. That is why I am getting this on paper and filed.)

    we discussed here before about straw purchases, and someone brought up a required time line you must keep a firearm before resale

    does anyone have a link to it?

    Not an expert, but the way I understand it, it wouldn't matter whether the law you broke exists in your new state of residence. You would still have to apply to have your rights reinstated.

    A felony conviction is a felony conviction. If you are convicted in Kalifornia on the felony count, Montana will refuse you your gunrights due to a felony conviction on your record, period.

    If you can make a living somewhere else, I'd be looking to move out of Kalifornia.

    Unless your are military or LEO, any mag above 10 rounds is verbotten in CA.

    If you are caught violating such a law, you will have virtually NO chance of ever legally purchasing a firearm ever again, in any state. It doesn't matter if what you did is not a crime in any other jurisdiction, "foreign" courts are loathe to overturn otherwise valid and binding convictions, and their attendant consequences, even if the law is utterly asinine and unconstitutional.

    If you commit a murder in Texas and they execute you for it, and ship your body back to California, you'll still be dead.

    Civil;
    One of my boys was a special forces cop in the Air Force and in the wrong place at the wrong time and convicted of a felony and asked to leave...when he got back to VA we went to get a CCW for him and renew mine. Got mine in a day and he got a mouth full from the judge saying he had two felonies and it was impossible to have a weapon period. I concurred and tried to get the point across to him. He was convicted by the AF in Texas.

    He now lives in Montana, hunts freely and has been approached several times by the Montana State police to join up. He presently is in the process of doin so. The DA in Great Falls says the conviction was "mickey mouse" and he was rail roaded and Montana doesn't recognize it....so go figure. Guess I'll believe it when he finishes training and I see him in his state police uniform...

    "special forces cop in the Air Force"

    The Special Forces are an Army only unit.
