If you are convicted of a felony.....

[hunterhawk]

I was wondering if you have a ccw and you either commit a felony or if you are involved in a DV case... and CONVICTED do they take away your ccw?

The reason I ask is because when I get on here and go to sell handguns I always feel like i want to go through a dealer for my peace of mind that i am not selling to a scumbag... or at least someone that isnt convited of a felony and or cant own a gun legally...

always makes me wonder... so i was thinking maybe i would just ask to see their drivers license and a ccw card... but was wondering if they actually get taken away or just become "invalid"

not sure who would know this question but it would be great if someone had some insight on the subject!

thanks,
Craig

Absolutely they do. Felons cannot own a firearm, and therefore have no reason to have a CCW.

yep, it would be taken.

private face to face transactions to residents only require you to verify residency. Obviously if you have a serious issue with selling something to the guy...use your best judgement and trust your gut.

also, check the feedback on here. if the person has been around long enough you can see what others say about them.

It's up to each county- but in Fremont county, they make it very clear the card belongs to THEM- it's not yours to keep.

Seems a bit offensive on the surface, but that's because of lawyers- they have to retain ownership to be able to retrieve it legally. And they will.

yeah I have done the whole searching of what you need.. I have sold 1 gun on here before and just did the question asking and asked to see his id and sold the gun... made me feel better that he was questioning the law here a little while back too so i must have done something correctly!

I just wonder who actually takes it...

if i can find this answer for certain i would be more likely just to ask to see their id and there ccw card.... i know thats more than you have to do... but it would sure make me feel better and that's all that really matters to me

oh for the love.... who can edit the convicted part in my title so i don't look like a complete moron!

As far as I know, there is no penalty for not turning in a revoked CCW card, nor is there much effort put into recovering such a card in the case that the card is revoked.

Unless you call the issuing county's Sheriff's Department and validate the permit at the point of sale, it is essentially just another piece of plastic in a wallet.

For me, seeing a CCW permit is enough. It certainly isn't a guarantee that the person holding it isn't a scumbag, but in my experience, people willing to put money, time, and effort into anything generally aren't the sort of people I worry about.

I'd like to see an LEO weigh in on this.
