My fiance' is a convicted felon and he had a concealed weapon in his car?

honey

There is nothing anyone can do about it at this point. You should have known better before leaving your gun in his car knowing that he had prior convictions. I am sure he is thanking you very much for this right now.

As far as I know, if it is his car he is responsible for anything in the car. It doesn't look good.

Lettie D

Trust me, they're not going to believe you. He's a had lad.

JuJitsu_Fan

nothing you can do. he got caught with your gun, whether he knew it or not is irrelevant. the fact that he was around a gun is forbidden by law in most states. good luck....

If they go Federal....get a new man cuz your will be gone for 5 years. Mandatory minimums in federal court means he serves all five.

Start saving your money. You'll need to send him packages, travel across the State to see him, all that.

There is nothing you can do.

He's not supposed to be around weapons.

If he was in the car alone, then unfortunately he was in possession of your gun.

the probability of prison time is high, however if you immediately inform the police or other arresting agency ( example: FBI, ATF, Police) and give them your explanation along with proof of ownership of the weapon, along with proof of a relationship between the two of you ( example: picture of the two of you together, possible co-ownerships, or something else concrete). if you really try hard, you might succeed, but you need to act fast!!!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING STILL READING THIS!!!! MOVE!!!!

Larry

Be a little more responsible next time I guess.

Fire Lt.

the gun could belong to a state trooper and he left it in your car your fiance is still in possesion of the gun. sorry to break it to ya

alberto g

Why are you still with him, you don't have no future with this guy,, move out before is too late. Good luck !!

Say goodbye. No guns means NO GUNS!

Get an attorney for yourself and tell your attorney the truth. He or she can possibly work with your fiancee's attorney.

If he knew you had the gun, then he can still be in trouble.

The driver is legally responsible for EVERYTHING in the car. In most states, having a concealed weapon in the same car with him would be a violation even if you were driving and had a concealed weapons permit. Ownership of the weapon makes no difference in ANY state. My only advise is, don't ever let this happen again.

miss mazie

Unless you want to live your life in his footsteps , get some repect for yourself and stay clear of this guy . You could be charged with providing a felon with a weapon .

surelynotme

Join him in jail?

common sense

get a new fiance who is not a felon that way you dont have to worry about things like that.

the b-i-s-h

not a lot a convicted felon can not be in the possession of a firearn even if it yours if he knew if was there then he shouls have given it to you or drove another car but i personally think he is in for it good luck though

Well, aren't you two just fine upstanding members of the human race. If it was his car, he will be charged.

Marc B.

He's in a *lot* of trouble, no one will believe that the gun was yours. Get a good lawyer...

Captain Moe

Not a thing. He WAS in possession of a gun. That IS against the law, no matter who owns the gun.

FeatherHead

Dump him...he's off to jail...why do you have a gun anyway?

Jeffery C

Visit him regularily in jail. Write him letters. Wait for him to get out.

But DON"T lie and claim it was yours and not his. His fingerprints will get YOU convicted!

goz1111

Get a lawyer but I believe that it may be a strict liability crime if so intent of the person your boyfriend does not matter all that matter is was a gun in the car with him

As toward you going to claim the gun was your before you step you neck out for this guy and maybe charged with a crime, did you legally buy the gun, have a receipt, whose car was he driving was it your and you left the gun in car or are you trying to say you left the gun in his car knowing he was felon?

The Sylvan Wizard

It doesn't look good for him. Especially the "concealed" aspect of the charge. Then, if you have proof of ownership of the gun, it will only help you if you had a concealed weapon permit plus it being registered. Then, and only then will it really help, but, again; part of the rules for getting a concealed permit is that you have to be in possession of the weapon and it will reflect bad on you that you left it in a car and this could get you in some trouble also.

However; a good Attorney or catching a Judge in a "giving and good" mood could make a difference which is sad, but, true.

Plus, convicted Felons are told to not be around those that have weapons, especially if on Parole or Probation, so, it's really a mess, and possesion means everything. If you weren't there when he got busted, he's going to pay the price.

We have a horrible Justice system, and they (Prosecutors) want to get as many feathers in their cap than anything. They care little of fairness or giving people any breaks.

If it were up to all the Prosecutors in this country, instead of the 2 Million either incarcerated or in the probation, parole areas of the penal system ......they'd like to have 10 million or more of us locked up.

We have a troubled society, of course if your boyfriend was a Pro-Athlete, he'd only get a fine. This is sad.

Ashley

Immediately hire a lawyer notify the arresting agency that the gun belonged to you and that the boyfriend had no knowledge it was in the car.

plezurgui

IF that is true, then go to the police and tell them what happened. You may have trouble convincing them, so if you can find a witness who will vouch for the fact that it is your gun or a receipt where you bought it, that will help. If they still bring charges against him, then go to court and testify in his behalf.
If you can get this dropped, then do NOT ever take your gun with him anywhere.

sexyy
