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 loans, to go through a licensed dealer (FFL) in states like Washington, Oregon, New York, and New Jersey. Many gun owners mistakenly believe private sales are exempt, leading to unintentional felony charges if they don't use an FFL.

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

Red flag laws (Extreme Risk Protection Orders) allow authorities to confiscate firearms based on someone's claim that you are a threat, without needing proof of a crime or allowing you to defend yourself first. Failure to surrender all firearms can lead to felony charges for violating the order.

What are the risks associated with firearm storage laws?

In states like Massachusetts, New Jersey, and California, improper firearm storage can lead to criminal charges, even if the gun isn't used. Storing a loaded firearm unsecured in a home with minors or potential access by unauthorized individuals can result in significant penalties, including prison time.

Why are magazine capacity limits a common legal pitfall for gun owners?

Many states, such as New Jersey and California, limit magazine capacity to 10 rounds. Transporting firearms with standard-capacity magazines into these states, or even possessing them, can lead to misdemeanor or felony charges, with some laws addressing constructive possession as well.
