Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

Thanks, guys!

It wasn't a federal conviction. And unfortunately, it was for something he did when he was really young. He's not on probation or parole or anything.

I went on Sunday for the first time. Holy. Mackerel. I had no idea I would have to fight through swarms of hunters and military personnel to look at the guns displayed on tables. I guess I should've known better. Thank goodness I'm tall; if not, I would've just turned around and walked out. After pa...

If that's the case Joeshmo, if he can't knowingly live somewhere there's a firearm, then I can't get one.
He came first

Thank you for your input

I contacted Mark, but he requires a sit-down consultation for $100; for some reason I thought this was a black or white issue. Either I can own a firearm while living with a felon or not. I guess it doesn't work that way. I don't understand why he can't just tell me yes or no, but if that's the way ...

Thank you so much! And thanks for the lead, ProShooter

my other half is, unfortunately. I tried to do a search on this topic and nothing came up that really answered my question. Am I allowed to own a firearm and keep it in my house if a felon lives there? He also seems to be under the impression (I think he's extremely misguided, but correct me if I'm ...
