Roommate on probation with my firearms in apartment?

[Great-Kazoo]

I wouldn't think so, again I'm projecting my personal interest. Agree to disagree. That's the thing, the parolee is the variable, not him or his firearms. Why even make yourself a target to begin with? More attention should be paid to "How can I remove myself from this situation faster"

Perhaps he can get room mate to buy out his remaining lease.

Parole vs. Probation is a big difference, I believe the roommate is on probation.

I might've misunderstood parole vs. probation. Regardless its a crap situation, I think completely removing one's self from such situation is ideal. Just my .02

Both probation and parole bar the person from having access to firearms so the discussion points are still valid.

Her probation officer may be ok with someone in the apartment having guns but probation officers (at least not in the county that I worked in) are not allowed to do house checks by themselves. If the other probation officer accompanying the visitation/search has a qualm with firearms on the premises it could have implications for the boyfriend and girlfriend.

This is just hypothetical though. I did know a lot of probation officers that were extremely against firearms in the house. One guy I worked with that supervised a juvenile on probation (stupid charge, kid shouldn't have gotten probation in the first place imo) strongly suggested that if the parents didn't sell or relocate their firearms the kid could possibly be placed out of home.

You are correct, but let's not turn the situation into something it's not, and it's not parole.

Probation does NOT necessarily remove your firearms rights.
Or Hers for that matter.


You need to get the paperwork and see.


In my youth I was on probation for traffic offenses ( lead foot ... ) Had a police contact ( we were messing around in a park late at night) had a pistols in the trunk.

Officer CHARGED me with felon in possession which was dropped the next day by the DA as I'm not a felon nor did my probation revoke my firearm rights,

This can lead to interesting times for me as it does show up on an FBI report as an arrest but not a conviction, when doing things like crossing the US/Canada border...

Anyways the pistols were returned to me .

This was in New Mexico.

Check the Paper/Terms of probation

Moving ones items off site, just in case, is compromising. The OP has a gun safe. He mentioned neither the room mate, or GF have an interest in the guns.
How much of a threat is this problem child, that he feels off site storage is best, OR necessary? Perhaps more attention should be paid to securing kitchen knives and other sharp instruments.

"Compromising" is exactly what he's doing and it's also the smart thing to do. This isn't about "rights" this is about a crappy situation and the OP is trying to keep it from getting crappier. Probably safe to assume that if the OP had the ability to live on his own without a roommate, he would (which means that the option of telling the roommate to FOAD is also off the table.) The roommate's GF is going to be there whether the OP wants her there or not. Saying "screw you, it's my right to keep a gun so I'm going to keep it" is great until OP comes home and finds out the GF has gotten ahold of his weapons and pawned them for drug/booze money, or shot herself or someone else.

Sure, from a legal standpoint he may be "right" but how much crap is he going to go through in the meantime? Seems to me that unless OP thinks he's going to need immediate access to a firearm at his home, removing them until he can get into a better living situation makes perfect sense.

Obviously the best option would be for the OP to not be in this situation, but he is and he has to make the best of it. We all make compromises, every one of us, every day.

I havent read every post. BUT...

Inviting or allowing a woman with bad deicision making skills into your house is a recipe for disaster. Look at the drama its already causing you. It doesnt matter what the law is pertaining to you haveing firearms in the house. What matters is when the just out of the local academy hard charger comes to your house to take her away and finds guns. Somehow it will cost you time or money. Whats legal isnt always decided on the spot by the LEO.
