Then this shouldnt be an issue fo her.
Courts have found that felons can use a gun in self defense if their life is in danger or protecting others from severe harm/death. It just cant be their gun, being prohibited from having a personal weapon doesnt mean under those circumstances they cannot use another persons weapon.
The state of Arkansas seems to disagree.
It might be like the 1986 FOPA. This law states that you can transport a firearm cased through any jurisdiction you are passing through as long as it’s legal at your destination, and even if the weapon is otherwise illegal in jurisdictions you pass through on the way.
IOW I could transport 30 round magazines through New York and Massachusetts if traveling from New Hampshire to Pennsylvania. That’s federal law. And it doesn’t matter. If I get pulled over in NY I’ll go to jail, federal law be damned. After I’ve spent 30 grand on lawyers, lost my job due to being in jail and defaulted on my home loan for lack of a job, and after he state has stolen and “lost” my property, I’ll finally “win.” This might have to happen on appeal in a federal court on appeal of a conviction since NY gives not a single damn about federal laws protecting gun owners.
I imagine it is the same with Arkansas in this case. They don’t care about common law in this case. They’ll ignore it and do whatever they want, with the blessing of voters who keep re-electing them.
