This is kinda long winded but Im seeking some info, specifically pertaining to Mississippi law. The story takes place in Mississippi.
Story. Back in 1985 a 25 year old man was dating an older woman who had a who had a daughter that was 12 years old. The man caught the woman stealing money from his home. When confronted, the woman passed the wad of cash off to her daughter and denied the accusation. The man called the police. While waiting for the law the woman became physical with the man and the man physically restrained her until the police arrived and left squeeze marks on the womans arms. When the police arrived they questioned the woman about the marks. The police arrested the man and he was charged with domestic. The woman never accused the man of domestic violence, the police pressed the charges. He was convicted in court and served community service.
Since then the woman and man have had no more contact. 26 years have passed and since then the man has been an upstanding citizen. He served a 4 year tour in the Army and was honorably discharged. Went to college and got an engineering degree. Homeowner, taxpayer and on the right side of the law since.
Recently the fella has taken an interest in firearms due to my interest in the hobby. I took him out to the range and he took a liking to my AK and mentioned that he would like to buy one but didnt figure the law would allow it due to his domestic violence charge from 26 years ago.
My question is, after 26 years is there any statute of limitations? What are yalls thoughts on this? Can he buy a gun? Should he try?
