carrying while with a felon

[gearjammer]

I have a neighbor who has a felony on his record and is currently on parole. He seems like a good guy and trying to stay on the straight and narrow as far as I know. He once in awhile asks for a ride to someplace which I will do, I don't mind helping a guy out. He doesn't know I carry. My question is - What happens if I get pulled over while he is in my car?

That's a really good question,I'm going to watch this thread. Steve

I'm sure you wouldn't be any trouble but your neighbor,I don't know.I have a friend who has a son who got in trouble(drugs) and when he was released my friend had to take his guns to another friend's house before the DOC would let his son move in.

While he is on parole, he can't be around firearms. You get pulled over and he goes back to prison. That's a violation of his parole.

Either tell him you carry a gun(bad bad bad idea)and it's putting him at risk of violating his parole or just start being unavailable to take him somewhere unless you want to do it unarmed..
It's not a perfect world or solution.

Would he have no ability to deny knowledge of the firearm assuming you legally keep it concealed and never tell him about it?

It wouldn't matter.Parolees don't have the same rights as regular citizens.They live and function at the pleasure of DOC. Steve

While I understand the severe restricitons imposed on parolees how would the fact that he is riding in a car with an armed CCW holder have any bearing. The parolee should have no knowledge of the presence of the firearm and does not have possession or control of the firearm. That would make as much sense as busting him for walking into a walmart that sells guns casue he might try to buy one.

 

[ssgrock3]

keep it concealed and be of service to your friend if it is appropriate for him and you. I agree with Larry, thinking that way, they guy couldn't go into a woods in case someone was there hunting or walmart or academy sports. or walk by a cop. On the other side, why would you get stopped for something that would entail you and your passenger getting ran to where this would even be an issue.

I'm no lawyer, but I believe that the firearm in question has to be available and accessible to the parolee for it to matter.

If it's in a concealed carry holster on YOUR hip, it is not available nor accessible to him.

You guys need to read the SDA Lawbook a little more often.
