Can I be gifted a firearm if?
Last month I regrettably listened to my lawyer and took ARD for a simple assault (a)(3) (M-2). I still have my concealed weapons permit and my P.O. said I can keep it. My lawyer also stated that I can be gifted a weapon while on ARD with this pending charge because ARD is not pleading guilty nor is it pleading not guilty. Now my mother had planned to buy me another pistol for Christmas long before this came up. I am uncertain of my lawyer stating this can happen and I do not want my mother or me being charged with some infraction I do not know of. Does anyone have any insight on this? I have been trying to research it myself but I am not the smartest at the internet.I live in Juniata county P.A. Thank you for any insight I have read many posts in here but I decided to actually join today. The first BLOG or forum in my internet history. Also my mother lives in P.A. as well.

The M2 Simple Assault isn't a prohibiter with conviction, however while on probation/parole you aren't allow to possess weapons. DO NOT, and I mean DO NOT, possess a weapon even if your PO says you can. It is against state and county guidelines for probation/parole, and it can(will) negate your ARD sentencing.
The ARD is just a plea agreement that withholds conviction so long as you satisfy your sentencing guidelines(probation/parole, fees, fines, community service, etc, etc).

Don't commit simple assault, or complex assault. Doing stupid things have consequences.

Did any of this stem from domestic violence? Did any part of this involve a PFA? Lots of pitfalls to lookout for after being arrested. You are no kid being born in 83, you are old enough to know better. Contact Phil Kline as was suggested. You will need all the help you can get. Have your Mother hold off on that gift for now.

Are you implying that someone in law enforcement may have lied to the OP? Wait for my surprised look...
But I agree. Let me put on my tin foil hat and mention that maybe the PO would look good if he told you you could possess a firearm, and then nailed you for that violation.
Put in your ARD time. Then get back on track.

And this is why I stay out of giving advice in threads like this anymore. I would have thought he was fine.
