Guy I indirectly know was arrested for Felony DWI and some related charges with no other legal problems in the past. He has an extensive collection of handguns and long guns. Can his arms be seized before he is convicted? In my county, I think its unlikely a judge would pull his permit preemptively, but the SP seems to do whatever they want.

I'm not friends with this guy or anything so I'm not going to give him advice, I was just curious. My understanding is its hundreds of guns, so finding a FFL to handle something like that might be a challenge. I know hes big into bird hunting and has multiple high dollar shotties among that collection.

It sounds to me like you should quickly become buddies. Just think how you could help out your bro by “protecting” a few dozen guns. Mmmm, guns! :beer:

Felony DWI is hard to get.......................have to have multiple DWI's.

How did he keep his guns in the past?

My contractor had a similar past.............got 11 months in County jail

Any registered guns should be held with an ffl. Any others can be gifted to children of legal age.

Not that I'd put myself into that position, IF I were arrested and it looked like they'd pull my guns, the call I'd make before the Lawyer would be to a Gun Dealer to come and collect everything before hand...you can argue innocent until proved guilty, even the fallacy of Red Flag Laws, but the bottom line is once they have your Guns, getting them back is a Sisyphean task.

BTDT. Took 6 months of pushing just to get them returned. And they were assholes in the entire shitshow.
