If he is a convicted felon, he may not touch a firearm until/unless he has successfully petitioned to have his 2nd Amendment rights restored. If he is doing so he is breaking the law. This is a matter for your local law enforcement to handle. Let them know what he's doing and give them assistance in catching him at it. If they won't help, take it up with your State Police.
 
Are you saying you live in an area that if you dial 911 and tell them there is a convicted felon with a firearm, someone won't show up?
 
got a camera?get a pic of him holding a gun.do ammo sellers keep records of who buy's ammo with the foid card? that should be enough for the locals to get a search warrant for the premises.if not,contact batfe
 
My inclination is unless he is doing something violent to butt out. Nothing good can come from messing with people for no good reason.

in some states a felon can own and hunt with bow and or Black Powder rifles
but yeah, what he's doing is good for 5 in the federal pen, and 5 for you sister too.
 
Convicted felon? Hunting with a modern firearm? The authorities might like to know about that when it occurs.

yes he is and we live in such a small community with so many of our resources being cut from our area we truely dont have law enforcement to help, is there gun rights activists groups etc to get ahold that could/would help with this type of situation?

"gun advocacy groups" don't arrest people and put them in jail ... police do, that is who you need to contact.
 
If your BIL went to "any ends" to abuse drugs and children, what ends are you willing to go to,to get this stopped? If firearms are the things he isn't supposed to have, then you best call the sheriff, or state police, and let them knowPDQ! If your sister is buying the ammo, she might be doing hard time also, its up to you!

You want a gun rights activist group to help you disarm a person? You'd have better luck calling the Brady Bunch, IMO.

Good luck with this.
 
Do nothing but dont worry kids like to brag and talk to their school chums and it will resolve itself rather quickly especially in a small town.
If you are concerned about your sister a word of warning may be in order as to the severity of the situation and the possible consequences of her actions.
This is a very bad situation I hope it works out for the best.

This half sounds like a Restraining Order would be helpful to have as an extra legal leg. By getting a RO and reporting his allegations as to having access to firearms it could provide enough probable cause for a search warrant. Just a possibility, don't expect anything (I'm not a lawyer). The flip side is if he is served with restraining order papers he may react in one of two ways.
  1. He comes after you violently
  2. He stops by to give you a little more alcohol fueled attitude

Result of #1, you have a better stance in whatever force is necessary to stop him in his violence.

Result of #2 is breaking the RO and he gets sent to prison again or gives you some decent leverage in whatever legal wrangling you have to do.

This isn't a gun issue, it is a personal choices issue/relationship issue that you're trying to use the firearms question to leverage to your desired end (getting this jerk out of your family's life).

I suggest you sit down in private with your sister and explain to her that you love her but she can not make this problem your family's problem. As long as her husband stay off your property and away from your family you'll stay out of her and her family's lives. Explain that she's committing a felony by aiding him in committing a felony and that she could loose the kids if he's caught. She can play the abused wife card in hopes of leniency, but if he harms anyone with one of these firearms or with the ammunition she's purchased there every chance she could suffer the same fate as her husband.

Then you have to make it stick.

Sad to say but while your BIL is the direct problem, your sister plays a big part in this as well. You won't ever have one without the other as long as she stays as the abused wife.

As to getting assistance from a 2A advocacy group to help put your BIL back in jail? That's not their focus and that's not likely to happen.

If your husband works at a prison he already knows who to contact.
