[font="verdana,arial,helvetica"] Father lost Gun Rights[/font] [font="verdana, arial, helvetica"]I was convicted for assault in the fourth degree, for pushing someone in my home. This person is not family or a household member, there was no domestic violence charge. I have no prior felonies, assaults or any other type of violent crime and have no history of substance abuse or mental issues.
My father had guns in the home. They were not used in any crime but were seized by police.
4th degree assault is not a crime you can loose your Gun Rights for in Washington State. 'The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired,' the State constitution clearly makes that an individual right.
The Judge ordered me not to own or possess guns for a year. She also ordered that the sheriff may release the guns to my Father 'for the purpose of resale only'. My father is a 80yo WW2 vet. He was not and never has been involved in any crime. He owns the house his guns were seized from.
My Father was going to bring the guns to a local gun shop to put on consignment. He was going to take a big monetary loss to follow the Judges orders and avoid having to hire an attorney. The Sheriff never released my fathers property. He was given the run around, he has a CCL but needed a state background check, next a federal background check. Various authorizations from detectives, prosecutors supervisors who were never available, out of the office or on vacation. Phone calls. They lied to him. He waited months.
My Father has lost his Rights too. The Sheriff says now I could get access to the guns if they are ever released to my father. There are 5 months remaining on the order Now the Sheriff has got the Judge to order that my fathers guns are to be destroyed in a couple of months if they are not sold. AND that the guns are not to be released to my father so he can sell them. They can not be put on consignment. AND My father has to bring PROOF with him that he owns the guns along with a buyer and the Sheriff has to agree that the buyer is buying the guns. In court the it was determined and agreed by all that my father was the owner of the guns, but that isn't proof for them.
All this is for my assault conviction. There is nothing new, not even a parking ticket. My Father has never been brought before the court or served with papers of any kind. They never even sent him a letter. The NRA gave my Dad the name of an attorney he deals with petitioning the court for restoration of lost rights, my dad would have to pay him, he does not work for damages. What we need is a civil rights attorney who defends the RKBA. My father does not deserve this. It is stressful. He has had cancer and heart surgery. I want him to survive this. He wants to know why they are doing this to him.[/font]
