Again, as I wrote in post#18 .........That's for a judge/jury to determine. My ATF IOI says "generally eyesight distance" because there is no regulation or law that defines an exact distance.
So being aware of case law on the matter would be relevant.
I didn't angrily attack anything or any one.
Interesting. How would you characterize it?
Are you referring to my first response to one of your posts?
This sequence:
"Possession" can mean different things.
Possession in regards to a firearm transfer differs from possession of a firearm by a felon. There have been successful prosecutions of felons who merely held a firearm at a gun show.
Yeah and that’s where a lot of the ambiguity (real or perceived) comes from. Which standard applies here? Without some case law or other clear indication, it’s hard to say.
There are literally thousands of cases involving "possession"....but you'll need to Google them yourself. Be it drugs, firearms, stolen property, counterfeit currency, etc you'll have absolutely no trouble finding a case where merely holding the item resulted in a conviction. Even being inside a vehicle with the item constitutes possession...just watch any episode of Live PD.
Regarding the transfer of possession of a firearm, ATF has these things called regulations. They clearly spell out what is required to transfer lawful possession of a firearm.
Clear snark (“Things called regulation”), clear aggression, an angry tone, with someone who wasn’t arguing with you.

Which, again, has absolutely zero bearing on what was being talked about.
Again, for like the 87th time.....my posts in this thread are regarding the thread topic.
What do you believe the thread topic to be? Because the OP clearly said it was regarding dealer ranges allowing use of a silencer on-prem before the stamp arrived, which has nothing to do with felons.
Lol, you’ve been nothing but condescending, and if you think asking if you are OK is belittling that’s sad.No sir, I've not been condescending or felt the need to belittle you by asking questions about your mental health. I don't need to.
You "genuine concern? Horsehockey.
