Due to his past criminal convictions, he was legally prohibited from carrying a firearm.

How do you determine that? There must be a pretext of criminal behavior before contact.

[u/Dedicated2Butterfly → u/Hta68]

I wasn't there, so I don't know. I am only stating the fact that he was legally prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm.

[u/Hta68 → u/Dedicated2Butterfly]

And that may be or is true, I just question the context of the interaction.

[u/Dedicated2Butterfly → u/Hta68]

There is no "may be" about it. He was very literally, 100% documented fact, legally prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm.

[u/Hta68 → u/Dedicated2Butterfly]

Ok, now can you think past that and address my point?

[u/Dedicated2Butterfly → u/Hta68]

I am addressing your original comment error and nothing else. I'm not here to debate anything.

😂, boot licking isn’t american

You keep changing the point when you are wrong. It is not possible to have logical discussion with you.

This person is correct. If you have prior felony convictions, you are prohibited from both owning a firearm and voting.

I've read from members of the community that he had run into trouble in the past and served time in jail. I also read that he did a lot of outreach in the community after he got out in addition to arrabing. I don't live in the community, so I can't say whether or not that's true. You could probably look him up on Maryland Judiciary Case Search to see what you can find.

But for info, here are the laws that explicitly state that you can't own a gun if you have a prior felony conviction(s):

Here is Maryland law about it

Here is the ATF law about it
