Frequently Asked Questions

What are universal background checks and why are they a legal trap?

Universal background checks require all firearm transfers, including private sales and gifts, to go through a licensed dealer (FFL). This law is a trap because many gun owners are unaware that casual transfers between friends or family now require an FFL, leading to potential felony charges if bypassed.

How do red flag laws pose a risk to gun owners?

Red flag laws, or extreme risk protection orders, allow authorities to seize firearms based on someone's claim of threat, often without due process or proof of a crime. Gun owners can face felony charges for failing to surrender all firearms, even if they were unaware of the order or forgot about a stored weapon.

What are the risks associated with firearm storage laws?

Storage laws mandate specific ways firearms must be secured, even within one's home. In states like New Jersey or California, improper storage, such as a loaded handgun in a drawer for home defense, can lead to criminal charges if a minor could potentially access it, regardless of whether the gun was used.

Why are magazine capacity limits a common legal pitfall?

Many states limit magazine capacity, often to 10 rounds. Carrying a firearm with a standard capacity magazine (e.g., 15 rounds for a Glock 19) into these states can result in charges for illegal possession, even if the magazine was unloaded or never removed from its case.
