    Default transfer of guns for another persons probation?

    Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has done this or even heard of it, My girlfriend got in some trouble, dui, and some other charges , about to be released but her probation officer says I have to transfer ownership of all my guns. I rented a storage locker but he says its not good enough. he says they cant impede on my 2nd amendment rights but then tells me this? anyone?

    You're starting off with the wrong question-
    Call the PO back and ask him to cite the law that requires you to transfer your firearms to someone else.

    There is no such law, so you are likely to run into the catch all:
    Probation is not a right- the judge can impose any conditions he wants on the person being granted probation.

    If you refuse to comply, no big deal, she just won't be granted probation until she meets the conditions- which means you agree to give up your firearms.
    So, how badly do you want her back?

    I take it you 2 live together? Same address?

    As long as you lock them up so she is denied access/possession , you're good to go.

    The truth of the matter is that SHE can't have access fo firearms. The PO will take that to mean they can't be under the roof. Really it means what it means and a simple lock box with a combination she doesn't know should suffice.

    It's her problem though if she cant live there, he has no authority over you and personally I wouldn't be getting rid of anything. Worst case scenario, if you actually love the woman, store them off site where she has no access and tell him they are gone. He has no right to search anywhere other than her residence, as far as I know.

    Talk to a lawyer about it if you want to be sure.

    I'd speak with GunLawyer from this forum and go from there.

    Don't allow them to violate your rights.
