Hello...needing a little advise

[Lumpy]

All I know of the prohibition is no guns for 3yrs. Judge told him not allowed to own one...not allowed to touch on. Wish I knew anything more on specifics to that matter, but the lawyer has the paperwork.

I agree about the local police, and was really hoping the idea of 'not sharing' combo for a safe would be acceptable by police. For now though, I just want those guns away from Police, and back in safe hands with a gun store or gun club.

Found one in Hamilton so far - Al Simmons. Price to store is fine. Just waiting to hear back from gun club I got them at. Rather them there, so I can continue to shoot... oh an shoot a lot I would...lol

I just dont want to be forced into any 'limitations' for 3yrs when cleared of everything, so watching for the cops to have me sign something last min.

Still, I'm young so more concerned with these back to myself then not at all. The time will pass fast.

TY again

1. Get Lawyer to send specifics of husbands ban.
2. Get in writing from Police/RCMP their "Conditions"
3. Get copy of judges statement with specifics of your status.

If the judge has cleared you, and has stated your guns and RPAL
are to be returned get that in writing. Lawyer should have a copy.

The judge would know you share the same household. If he had
any "issues" it probably would have been stated somewhere along
the way.

Get noisy, get aggressive, get copies of everything, ask for everything
to be in written form.

Get your lawyers a$$ in gear!

I want to see you get your guns back, and get out shooting.

Welcome Glock_Girl. I have read the thread, and yeah, you and your husband took a long hard one from the 'Law'. We all makes mistakes, and so long as you learn from them, no harm no foul imo.

Oh, and I love your sig btw!

Thanks very much. As for the sig, I actually have a T shirt to match
Gets a frown from some I'd rather not know, while a smile and nod from others I'd be proud to call like minded friends.

OMG- I can't believe this poor woman had to go through all the insuferable posters here.
I feel for you.
But back on topic- Hindsight is 20/20. Like it was said on...page 4 I think? "Shoulda woulda coulda"
As for the legalities of the prohibition, the conditions of the warrant, and the fact that you have compromised, and have agreed to transfers the firearms into possession of- the range officer, did you say? Really, it doesn't matter who.
Having sat in on improper storage court hearings, and dealt with a few firearm offenders myself (non armed security guard, go figure ), I would say that this case is extremely unique. Don't forget- we're not all lawyers, so I'm sure there's certain procedures that he must follow as well.
As for the OP, welcome to CGN, and sorry to hear that you learned that the authorites act like 5-year olds when it comes to firearms, the hard way.
Hope your future endavours bode well.

Hi everyone. I just joined and am very new to owning a firearm. I have a situation that I'm hoping someone can give me any advise on from this community. This will be a little long, so please bare with me...

My husband and I have valid licenses for both non-restricted & restricted. Once we obtained the licenses, we also bought 2 glocks that we kept at home. Due to an ongoing family dispute that was going on about 2.5yrs, a family member accused my husband of posting things on the internet which in turn caused the police to get a warrent to search our premises for the computer equipment, but they also seized the guns saying they were improperly stored. They were actually locked in cases - the only thing missing was the trigger locks, which in an ironic twist my husband was attemtping to do and the locks were taken along with the guns when seized that day.

A year later, the court cased was finally settled and the guns are supposed to be returned back to myself (in order to settle the court, my husband had to agree to a 3 year ban to no guns due to the storage issue) as per our lawyer, the crown & the judge. It's now been over 3 months and the police are refusing the hand over the guns to me, saying they are waiting to hear from their own legal counsel as they say the situation is abnormal.

I spoke to the officer today who's holding the guns. He advised that "if" the guns come back to me, they won't be able to be stored in the home due to my husbands conviction for unsafe storage. I asked for my license to be returned as I have no convictions against me so that at least I could continue to go to a club and practice while the gun situation was up in the air. He gave me the runaround saying he'll call a few people and get back to me. I wrote my lawyer and am waiting to hear back.

My lawyer has wrote them a few times, and they keep persuing any means possible to keep the guns it seems.

So, any help possible would be appreciated. Thank you
Kathy

im new here so take my suggestion how you wish.
but basically i think its the part that he is banned for 3 years and its only been 3 months that is why the police wont give them to you.
you do live in the same house, im guessing the ruling said he is not to have guns in his house, just because there is no reason you can not have guns in the house wouldnt over rule that coout order, his house is your house, 1 person cant have gins in the house so neither can the other..

a quick walk around(may or may not work) with this is you rent a room at a friends house and put that a a temporary residence. then you can probably obtain your firearms and sell them.

Hi djmay. Thanks for the welcome. Hope to become a regular poster in the future here, and try to meet friends local to myself once I have my guns back.

Yes, I agreed with the firearm chief to allow the guns to be kept at another location. I was back to the police station today, trying to have this wrapped up soon. He said my lawyer had been in touch, and the judge would be providing the needed papers to release both Glocks soon.

As such, the chief wanted to know where the guns were to go. I found a local gun shop willing to pick them up, and store for the full three yrs. Little expensive, but the guns and license is worth it alone.

I'm waiting to hear back from the gun club I bought them at. If they could store them for 3yrs, I could go out and continue to shoot my own gun whenever I wanted to.

As we can all agree, once the guns are being held by a gun club, or such and of no concern anymore to the police, options to appeal, or get a court order to have them come home on conditions I don't share the combination to a safe become possible.
And if I have to wait 3yrs till they come home, so be it. I'm young enough, and will do everything the right way here on in.

Going into this I really had no issues with police ( and still don't ). But was shocked to see how callous and mean police were at the time of arrest, and continue to be toward gun owners. The police use the term 'grey area' alot in this case, which tells me they don't realy know much more than you or I.

Hello, and welocme to the board too.

The ruling for my husband was not as general as no guns in the house, rather he could not handle a firearm period for 3yrs.

I do see your point, my home is his home. But even on a prohibition, I now see him being the same as a child.
I own the Glocks now, and I am the only licensed owner. As such, I am responsible for those Glocks, and keeping even my husband safe from usuing them even if it means not sharing a combination, or hiding a key.

Your walk around is pretty solid. I'm hoping to have a lawyer swear me under oath to not allow my husband access as being acceptable. The other option could be sepperate address as all kidding aside the whole matter has taken a serious strain on us both.

But that is for the lawyers and courts to tweak later. For now, I just want those Glocks out of police hands.
