    The state says that you as an adult are responsible for the safe storage of firearms where it comes to child safety whereas the courts decide what access a prohibited adult has. Your two year old is not a "prohibited person'. So yes, I'm sure.

    BS! If anything the prohibited adult may have fewer limits on their access than a prohibited minor.

    I'll see your B/S and raise you a B/S. if you decide your 12 year old is mature enough to hunt groundhogs or target shoot on his own, there's no Prohibition. If you decide to loan your shotgun to a convicted felon, I'm sure you can figure how that will work out if he's caught. Let's not lump kids in with felons for chit sake.

    You know little of which you speak.

    Besides, this thread has become basically about access to a firearm within a home not loaning firearms or hunting.

    You are wrong. The wife was never convicted of a crime and cannot legally be punished for it.

    This. She is allowed to possess a firearm in the same house a felon lives in. He is not allowed access to it. If she allows access to it she has then committed a felony. Put it in a safe where she only has the combo.

    Also keep in mind that the felon may possess a muzzleloader as long as the muzzleloader is legal in the state that it is possessed.

    Don't forget to consult a 2A lawyer for a written opinion and place it in a safety deposit box.

    let me rephrase he has not yet been convicted but took a plea deal. His hearing isn't until Late January so he wants to get it out of his name before the law comes. to either sell or transfer to a relative/wife

    You stated that he was convicted and is currently serving his time for it.
    So why the story change?

    For this instance it doesn't matter whether or not he has yet or will be convicted. And she could but I was wondering how easy it would be and if could be done with out getting caught up in the machine that is CJS

    Minors are not"prohibited persons". What did they do to be deemed prohibited? By their age, they need supervised access from an adult. That's it.
    If a 10 year old was"prohibited" in this legal sense, then when they turned 18 they wouldn't be able to buy anything. Nobody is born prohibited, then granted UN prohibited status at 18 until they commit a felony, then get prohibited again.
    Nobody is saying that someone's "exceptional, swat trained" 10 year old cannot handle a gun.
    But they had to put an age of access/responsibility somewhere/somehow.

    Just have to understand that there is a ton of varied experience, intelligence and overall sharpness of a lot of people here and to say one thing pretty confidently then change it later just piques curiosity.

    This
    I've seen first hand the msp told a friend of mine and his wife the same thing,and because I have a friend who is prohibited doesnt make me a questionable person,many of us have contact with a prohibited person many just don't know it.there was also a case involving a doctor from Texas that went to SCOTUS over this matter,look at G.Gordon liddy,Mrs. Liddy has one of the finest luger collections he has ever seen.

    Minors, and prohibited adults, have the status of not being able to have unrestricted access to a firearm without an un-prohibited adult present.

    That's not true. Felons are prohibited from possessing firearms, children are not.
    Your child can use your gun if you choose to allow them to, a felon may not.

    I honestly can't imagine a situation where she could make sure that he would NEVER have access to the gun(s).
    I'm an unforgiving stick in the mud. I don't think felons should have access to guns. Their piss poor judgement makes them a liability and probably a danger to others.
    I've known people (friends and family) who were convicted and sentenced and I don't want them to have guns either.

    You are confusing possessing with using. And yes children are prohibited from possessing firearms too.
