Prohibited Friend and Ammunition

[R.A.D.]

I feel his screen name will be very defining shortly

[Metz]

I will say that it sounds a bit fishy that he bought ammo before buying a gun. Just sounds a bit off.

I have 2-3 calibers in my stash for guns, that I don't have (yet).

I have 2-3 calibers in my stash for guns, that I don't have (yet).

But you do have other guns. That is where it sounds off to me. I know I am assuming he has no guns but i think it is a safe assumption because convict did not state that he did and that would seem pertinent to the conversation. I also have ammo for guns I don't have anymore or yet.

I have a friend that is prohibited from owning firearms.
I've tried telling him multiple times that he can't have any ammo but he won't listen to me.
Can anyone tell me exactly which law prohibits him from having ammo?? Thx

[Convict]

My friend isn't the brightest in the bunch. Which is why he bought the ammo first.

He didn't know he was prohibited because he did something stupid a long time ago when he was young and dumb and he didn't realize it was a misdemeanor of the first degree and prohibited firearm ownership.

Thanks JRswack that may convince him.

Thanks GunLawyer

I found that as well but it confused me. I thought it only pertained to buying and selling. I am not an idiot but trying to read and understand the actual text of laws is difficult especially Federal laws.

[Statkowski]

It seems that all the state laws concerning prohibited persons has to do with their owning, buying or possessing guns - but no mention of ammunition whatsoever.

Federal laws, however, do seem to mention both.

...but you're not prohibited so you can fondle all the shells you like

I have ammo in calibers that I don't own guns. Things happen. Heck, I even have a couple magazines for guns I never owned....
