They'll get him! Good photos. He needn't check the time there, he'll be doing 7-to-15 soon.

But he faces no 922(g) nor 924(c) firearms charges. Because he was not in possession of a "firearm".

I don't get it ? What's your topic about?
If YOU notice the firearm has a brass frame, then maybe you should contact the local PD of the robbery and share that information and help them identify the perp of the unlawful act.

Not a firearm

i would bet it wasnt loaded.

I bet it doesn't matter. But I find it interesting that he doesn't face anything different from carrying a bag of peanut butter sandwiches as a weapon.

This already happened and is why Cabelas no longer delivers muzzle loaders to your door

I bought my New army .44 at the advice of Florida law enforcement, without even asking for my name. Let alone ID verification

It's not that uncommon for convicted felons to mess around with muzzleloaders since, for the most part, they're not considered "firearms". I've had several ask if they could own one to hunt with. "Whatever your parole officer says."

It's not uncommon for those who have been "previously convicted of a Felony" to continue to be mislabeled as a "convicted felon" for life. Whereas a "convicted felon is someone who is currently under sentence for a felony conviction". Once you complete the terms and conditions of any imposed sentence, you become a citizen again.
At no point in time, nor under any written law, have I ever been sentenced to a term of life for any previous felony conviction.
Another misunderstanding about legal terms is "Felon in possession" and "fleeing felon". Neither of which requires a previous conviction. All you need to do is be "in the commission of a felony" to be a felon. That is the legal truth of the term.
Anyone commenting a felony is a felon. Anyone serving a sentence for a felony is a convicted felon.

Your beginning to see the reality of this in the overturned cases of felony firearms charges in the supreme court.

2nd amendment is untouchable and lately the courts have pushed back on these untouched loose uses of legal language.

Remember that Wyatt Earp was released and handed his guns back, after his murder conviction l.

They have a nice clean spot waiting for him in Beaumont Tx. 7-10 years of beef heart and soy grit, topped off with no vagina.
