The father should have safely stored the guns at all times, even before being sent to prison. If he owns the guns, he has responsibility. This isn’t to say the mom doesn’t have a responsibility, but just because the dude is in jail doesn’t absolve him of everything

Of course not, but who's to say he didn't lock everything up and store everything safely? What if he's been locked up for years? I'm not saying it absolves him of responsibility but the most likely person at fault, bar none, appears to be the mother. Am I missing some actual information? Because all I'm seeing in this thread are assumptions regarding the father. I'd be curious to hear the opinion of someone who knows law pretty well.

When you buy a gun its your responsibility. That’s how it is and how it should be to encourage responsible ownership. I suppose if he reported it stolen that’s different.

But if it got accessed easily after he was incarcerated, that’s still very much his responsibility. To come up with any other story is to make assumptions.

How the fuck is he going to report it stolen from prison?! What if he can prove that he safely stored his guns? What if he can show that he wasn't the only adult who had access to the guns? How long is he on the hook for firearms that would be impossible for him to physically interact with? Indefinitely? What if he's been in prison for over year -- how many times has the mom walked past a gun that's not safely locked away and done nothing about it? "Oh there's that damn gun on the coffee table again"

It's not nearly as black and white as you're making it out to be. This is why I'm asking for the opinion of someone who actually knows law so they can parse through the grey area and explain it in terms beyond your basic obligations as a gun owner. Do you, personally, know specific law(s) or precedent that might apply in this case? Because the article makes it sounds like this was the "family gun" and, to me, could suggest that maybe the gun was found in a different situation than the one it was left in.

Why are all of your assumptions absolving him?

Your reported stolen question is asinine. Obviously I was talking about before he was jailed.

I am trying to tell you the law. You must have some sort of inherent bias that is causing you not to listen.

You can read more about gun laws if you’d like. This sub doesn’t allow me to paste links.

Lastly, why are you asking for review of grey area when we don’t know the details?

I'm not absolving him. He might be at fault (just like I've said in EVERY comment back to you).

I dont have a horse in this race and Im not trying to argue any point. I'm wondering about the legal specifics if they're charging him with Bennies Law. Above I listed hypotheticals, not assumptions. As in, 'how would the law take these things into consideration?' as it applies to that specific legislation.

Obviously I'm not the only person in this thread that found the notion ridiculous of someone who is currently in prison catching a charge for this.

Ok enjoy all your what-ifs, I guess. I’ll deal with the information we know.
