Hi all,
To keep this short and readable, here goes:
I was convicted of a class I misdemeanor in the state of VA for Generalized Reckless Driving. I am a resident of MD and a full time student currently residing in Pittsburgh, PA. I was assigned 1 year supervised probation for this offense. After alot of paperwork and phone calls, my probation has been transfered to Western PA. I met my P.O for the first time the other day and he had initially advised me that I would be able to keep my LEGAL firearms, because of the nature of my case (it being just a bad driving offense).
To my horrible dismay, he called me yesterday (the day after the first meeting) and has now advised me that there is no leeway as probation is probation and that I will need to get rid of my firearms :banghead: ....In addition, he is giving me no real way to accomplish this. He has said it needs to be done immediatley and that I just "could sign them over to a friend or something." I have told him that I only feel comfortable leaving them with a family member back home in MD. His response, "you dont understand, you cannot possess them while you are on probation, so you cant drive them home (4 hrs by the way)."
The current situation is that I am waiting for him to return my phone call, where I told him that home in MD is my only option.
Anyways, Im not sure what I want out of this post, but all comments and suggestions are welcome. I am trying to see if I can appeal this aspect of my probation or have my lawyer attempt to contact the original prosecuter/judge to ask for some provision. SIGH
Edited for: I also forgot to mention that I advised my P.O that I have two documented break-ins at my apartment in the past 6 months. I am being unethically disarmed in my opinion...
