Hello, requesting assistance please. In a discussion with a LEO friend I made the statement that people (with a clean record, no felons,priors or domestic violence convictions) had been arrested, convicted and sent to jail in this country for possesion of an unloaded firearm.
My friend disagreed and maintained that anyone had to have been doing something else illegal or was not allowed to possess a firearm for other reasons (felony conviction, priors or domestic violence convictions etc...)
I strongly believe that I have read of such cases IIRC in Mass prior to FOPA (1986) or New York City. However my Google-Fu is not stong, I do not have access to Lexus/Nexus and search on this and other forums have not been succesfull.
I am looking for a name or names and any other data of someone who
A) Is not under federal law a "prohibited person"
B) Not commiting another crime at the time
C) Was convicted and sent to jail for POSSESION ONLY of a firearm (this would include those who did not "Register" their firearm(s).
D) It was not a NFA firearm i.e no full auto, suppressed firerarm or SBR/SBS
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
