Oral Sex = Lose Your Firearms

[plinkerton]

From the "How Else Can I Accidentally Lose My Firearms?" department:

2010 Maryland Code
CRIMINAL LAW
TITLE 3 - OTHER CRIMES AGAINST THE PERSON
Subtitle 3 - Sexual Crimes



Without taking a detour into beastiality-land, oral sex between consenting adults carries a maximum penalty that is comparable to Attempted Poisoning or 2nd Degree Assault. And since the penalty has the potential to exceed two years, you lose your firearms (per the BATF:)


Rather puts a damper on Steak and BJ day (which, btw, was yesterday.)

That sucks ....

Is that IANAL..... Or I ANAL ?

Not like this I hope

I can't answer for everyone, but I've had a few that would have been worth going to jail over.

Oral Sex = Lose Your Firearms . If she does it right, it might be worth it.

I agree that Lawrence v Texas would invalidate this state law. However, it's still on the books. Were you charged with a violation, you would need to fight the charges. Entering a no-contest plea would trigger the "guilty" process. You could make a compelling argument using Lawrence v Texas, but unless you get a dismissal with prejudice, the State could appeal a decision in your favor.

As long as this legislation is on the books, the government can bleed you to death. I don't buy into the belief that "they would never do that ..."

LOL. I got a "rain check" which is better than nothing I suppose...

Have you checked Saturday's weather forecast?

Laws invalidated by the Supreme Court are unenforceable, but that prob wouldn't stop to many.

 

[ThatIsAFact]

past convictions still disqualify

I don't believe that the Supreme Court decision in Lawrence in any way nullified the firearms disqualifications of persons who were convicted under the Texas sodomy law or any other sodomy law prior to that date. If anybody thinks otherwise, I would love to hear the legal argument.

This is one of those old religious laws that just hasn't been repealed. I'd be more amazed if you could find me someone actually charged with this.

U must have a lot of time.

There's actually a Maryland law against adultery. If you cheat on your married partner, it's like a $100 fine!

On top of the $100 you already paid?

I told the fiance about steak and bj day on wednesday and she said " i hope you enjoy your steak"

 

[RavensChick]

Crap, I'm in serious trouble...

 

[rj1974]

Crap, I'm in serious trouble...

I think most of us would be , well the lucky ones of us anyway

 

[Alea Jacta Est]

This one's my rifle
This one's my gun
This one's for shooting
This one's for fun
Man oh man...FN MD is wringing the fun out of EVERYTHING.

SOON, IF IT FEELS GOOD STOP. IF IT TASTES GOOD SPIT IT OUT.

TIME TO MOVE!

 

[TopTechAgent]

I tried for yesterday and she said try back in "two weeks"

The Statute is still on the books in Md. A case has held it to not be enforcable for consenting adults in private. Periodically there is talk of repealing the Sodomy statute , but prosecutors will chime in that it is a valuable option to be able to charge for cases that are really rape , but are having difficulty proving all the elements of rape , or sexual assult. I suspect it is used thusly far more often as. Lever in plea negeotions than an actual conviction.

So I will just go to WV to get my hummer!...

They'll get you on the Mann Act, which outlaws "the interstate transport of females for 'immoral purposes'".

I agree. Many old laws should be abolished. This particular law is definitely not applicable in today's society. I bet the new Pope would agree.

They need to be removed totally from state criminal code. Imagine if the state was trying to find something and goes to a law that is so old and obscure that no one even knew about it.

So Bill Clinton can not own a gun?

Anyone got a cigar?

 

[Storm40]

totally worth it. I suppose. I have no data with which I can make any firm conclusions.

(see what I did there?)

 

[OLM-Medic]

Lawrence v Texas. I am pretty sure invalidated sodomy laws in Md. 539 U.S.558 (2003)

Ianal.

Yep.
