Can a felon's wife own guns in her own home without exposing her husband to charges o

G. Gordon Liddy was bragging to some motorcycle buddys one time that he had nine felony convictions, probably more than any of them.

I have seen pictures of him holding firearms. So unless they were "dummy" firearms, he violated the law.

Actually, him being a lawyer, former Federal prosecutor and FBI agent, he could have sought to have his civil rights restored. And maybe he did. I thinking about calling his radio show and asking him about his felony status.

You could at one time, maybe still can, go to court as a felon and have your civil rights restored. And, why not if you paid your debt to society? I heard someplace to pursure restoration it costs about $10,000.

Officer could lose job over gun
Wife arrested on parole violation after weapon found in bedroom.

A Fresno police officer could be fired after marrying a woman who served time in prison for attempted murder and then violated her parole in December by having access to his department gun.

Parole agents found city police officer Ray Holquinn's gun, pepper spray, baton and cartridges on the floor of his bedroom near the bed, where his bride had been sleeping.

Holquinn and his wife, Tanya Marie Holquinn, knew his gun had to be kept in a locked safe or locked gun cabinet for her not to violate parole, said Bill Sessa, spokesman for the California Board of Prison Terms.

Holquinn said he tried to find out what to do with his gun at home, but one parole agent gave him incorrect information and another agent wasn't in the office. Holquinn said he kept the gun in a safe until the day before his wife was arrested: "It was my mistake leaving the gun [in the bedroom]."

During an interview Tuesday, Holquinn provided details about a relationship that stunned fellow officers when it was first reported. Holquinn acknowledged the novelty of the situation: "This is totally irregular -- a cop marrying a parolee."

Holquinn said he believes his wife's past is being held against her: "Nobody wants to let it go and let her live a life."

Tanya Holquinn is now back in prison as she awaits a hearing to determine how much time she will have to serve for violating parole. She faces a maximum of one year.

Well, I have to admit that "accidentally" leaving your gun somewhere is pretty lame, especially for a cop. Regardless of whether it's right or not, he knew he was supposed to lock it up and should have. It's too bad his wife has to pay the price, but he also took on particular responsibilities marrying a parolee and making sure he's not contributing to her breaking parole. Just my oh so humble .02
