I guess you’re talking about a minor possessing a handgun. Actually, it looks like he could do so legally, if he has written permission from a parent or guardian.
“I guess you’re talking about a minor possessing a handgun. Actually, it looks like he could do so legally, if he has written permission from a parent or guardian.”
A few years ago, a family had stored their guns this way, and the adults were gone when a crazy with a pitchfork broke in. The 14 year old girl who had been taught how to use the guns was able to escape with one of her siblings. By the time the police got there and shot the madman, her other two siblings had been killed. To this day, the grandmother believes that the California law caused the death of her grandchildren.
IOW, parents that own (possess) a gun must anticipate that a threatening situation such as this might require their children to take defensive action, and place on file a written permission for their children to “borrow” their father’s gun to defend themselves, in the unlikely but possible event that such becomes necessary.
Would the boy’s emergency “borrowing” of his father’s gun, to defend himself and his brother, constitute illegal “possession” of a firearm?
