Just noticed that 18 U.S.C. 922 makes it a felony for anyone who has been conviced of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence to ship, transport,possess, or recieve firearms or ammunition.
My question is, I was under the impression that you cannot own firearms if you were convicted of a felony crime. Didn't know anything about the misdemeanor. Must be the whole domestic violence thing.
Also, some states arrest both parties if they have to respond to a domestic violence call. If your arrested and charged with the misdemeanor then I guess you have to get rid of your firearms?
Scenerio; Say I go home and tell my wife I had enough and want a divorce. She starts hitting me and I stand there and take it. No one else is around to witness the one sided stomping, but the neighbors can hear the commotion and call the cops. If I'm in a state where they take both parties to jail and get tagged with the misdemeanor crime that pretty much ruins my ability to hunt, shoot or defend myself in the future. Is this correct?
Disclamer; I am not in the situation noted above so don't worry about me. Just thought I'd throw it out there.
