Can I own a long rifle if my brother living with me has a felony?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by Aric Cramer (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers
You may legally own a rifle if you are of age and pass the standard background check. You brother however, is a convicted felon, and may not be in possession of a firearm OR ammunition. Possession is a very broad term. Actual possession means you have it in your hands or on your body. Constructive possession is having the firearm in an area where it is readily available for your brother to get at it. I have seen defendants convicted of felony firearms charges for being in the same house as a firearm. I would suggest that if your brother is going to live with you that you store the firearm at a different home and never have it anywhere around him for HIS protection. Or your brother can move out and you can store it at your house.... Read More

Do I need a lawyer to file a class action lawsuit? or can I do it myself?

Answered 12 years and 4 months ago by Sarah Reese (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
It depends.  If there is already an existing class action lawsuit, you likely already are considered to have an attorney that represents the "class" and works to make the best decision for the class as a whole.  However, if you would like to make sure that your interests alone are protected and represented individually, you could hire your own attorney.  However, depending on the type of suit, it might not be necessary.  It would depend on your damages, the type of suit, etc.  If there is already an existing class action suit you would like to join, I recommend going to the website related to that class action and reviewing the FAQ's page.  It should have some information regarding attorneys and whether you should seek legal representation.  If you would like to file a brand new class action lawsuit, I recommend you hire an attorney to assist you.  Class action lawsuits are very complicated and sometimes result in thousands of plaintiffs going against major national corporations.   Best of luck! NOTE:  This response is general in nature and should not be considered legal advice.  No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this response. ... Read More

I am assuming you were "charged" under Article 134 on a prejudice to good order and discipline. Miranda is not an issue, unless there was an in custody questioning. Have you been offered an Article 15? If so you can of course refuse it and ask for a court-martial. I think the government would have tough time proving disorderly conduct from the facts you provide.... Read More
