shotgun?
 

If you are a convicted felon and are prohibited from owning firearms what about hunting firearms? Is it really as easy as everyone says it is to buy a 12 gauge at kmart? Or do they somehow look up your information or put your name on a list that they have to submit to the police because of people like me? I am not a bad person, never have been, just got in too much trouble with killing the streets and all i want is some home defense. I dont see how that is in any way linked to crime rate and having a criminal record. Gun control makes no sense to me.

Re: shotgun?
 

I belive anyone can buy a shotgun seeing as they sell them at some walmarts/sporting stores but you have to wait a few days, i asume they do a background check. I could be wrong with the background check thou.

Re: shotgun?
 

a gun shop or pawn shop you have to get a background check, but not at gun shows. But different states have different laws, I know cali is real strict on there gun laws

Re: shotgun?
 

Ya, just go to a gun show. You don't have to register hunting weapons....but i think they may ask for your liscense and check it out.

Re: shotgun?
 

kmart and wal-mart will definatley do a NICS background check and/or make you fill out some sort of questionare(sp) which will ask you questions about your criminal history.......

I know in MI a felon can't purchase/own a firearm or a hunting license.....you should ask a local cop or a gun dealer what the rules are in WA.

Re: shotgun?
 

I know when I bought my shotgun at outdoor world, it took like 3 hours because they did somekind of background check while i waited. I think the convicted felon/no firearms thing is pretty similar nation wide.

Re: shotgun?
 

In FL felons can't have handguns
but you are allowed to have a shotgun and you can have a hunting license, as long as your sentence has been served ie: all fines paid and your no longer on probation.
You have to pay an additional registration fee I belive.

For home security this ought to do the trick.

Re: shotgun?
 

Where do yall live that they don't do backround checks at gun shows??? Every gun you buy in the state of virginia they send a backround check to the state police no matter where you buy it gun show or just a local gun shop. I also know if your a felon here trying to buy a gun you won't get it and the Police are going to come directly to the shop your at and arrest you!!!

Re: shotgun?
 

Just head down to your flocal Hood and Find Some Guy with
what ya want and Give him some Rocks or $$$ and Call it a day.. :LOL

Re: shotgun?
 

Felons CANNOT own ANY firearms per FEDERAL LAW, get caught buing one or having someone doing a straw for you and its 10years in the poundemintheasspen and $250,000

I dont know why you think there is any difference between a hunting gun and tactical weapon, they are all regulated the same way unless they are Class III weapons

Take my advice, think it over, yopu could ruin your life or someone else's

yeah, but you can sue to get some of your rights back...like voting and owning a gun. pretty sure if its a violent crime, ur facked...non violant would have a way better chance.

Re: shotgun?
 

[QUOTE=sam2008;3552383]The shot pellets from a shotgun spread upon leaving the barrel, and the power of the burning charge is divided among the pellets, which means that the energy of any one ball of shot is fairly low. In a hunting context, this makes shotguns useful primarily for hunting birds and other small game.[/QUOTE]

a shotgun will do more damage at close range than any other weapon.

Re: shotgun?
 

It depends where you buy them.

When, I went to the gun store to buy my 38 spc. They placed a call for two min's and sold me my gun. Right on spot...

I still have no clue, how my bro was able to get one.

Gun Control what the fuck
 

Gun control what a bunch of bs guns dont kill people, People kill people!!!!! dont blame it on the guns:yeah :yeah :yeah :yeah :yeah if i wanted to kill some body id buy a gun with no #s rather than buying with my name on it so you would think they rather you buy a gun legal and put your name on it so they can trase it dosent make sense to me:shruggs :shruggs :shruggs :shruggs

Re: shotgun?
 

in new jersey you need a firemens id card to buy a long gun (rifle,shotgun,muzzleloader) to buy a pistol it takes awhile you have to get a backround check in the town you live in and you have a certain amount of time to use the pistol permit, and i think it is a 2 handgun minimum per year. and forget about a carring permit.

[QUOTE=50slut;3552392]a shotgun will do more damage at close range than any other weapon.[/QUOTE]

not to mention slugs, like a little fist flying at high speed. or buckshot, mag shells...

Re: shotgun?
 

A felon CANNOT own any type of firearm, Federal Law. Walmart and K-mart do background checks too. Some pawn shops do under the table deals, but it's not worth the risk. As for gun shows, I've been to a few here in AZ but never bought at any of them so I dont know.

Re: shotgun?
 

Your answer is NO!! All the way around....

Have any gun = Time in Prison!!!!

damn thats one hell of an arsenal

Re: shotgun?
 

I don't think SL is the right place to ask for gun laws concidering it's your future your talking about but yeah, a felon can't purchase a weapon of any kind in any state to my knowledge. Lets put it this way, if your a convicted felon and you bought a gun from one of these so called ''give cash, get gun, no questions places'' you go to jail period. ALL gun shops Walmart, K Mart, gun shows, local shops Etc... are supposed to run backrounds and if your at a shop that doesnt, then leave ASAP because its a BATF sting op lmao. And as far as cutting the barrel and stock off that shotty... thats a no no gun smith or not. Depending on how short your talking about (barrel vs. overall length) it would be concidered a SBS "short barrel shotgun" you need a Form 4 for that people.

Re: shotgun?
 

the best thing to do is if you have a good friend have them get you one as long as you dont do anything illegal with it your good

Re: shotgun?
