I’m eligible to have my 2nd amendment right (firearm) restored. All of my other Civil Rights hav been restored for many years now, which I have served on a jury and voted. My question is that I’ve read that there is currently a 9 year wait (at least) for specific firearm authority right restoration. If true then something needs to be done, because you have to wait 8 years after all of the sentencing requirements are completed! Thank you for any input,

Leonitas,

I am sorry for your requirement to register. As misunderstood as we who were adjudicated guilty or accepted a plea I think the general public is 100% in the dark to the fact that one can be required to register without having been convicted.

We spend a great deal of time on those of us “convicted” and served our time that this issue (yours) does get often overlooked. I look forward to a day when changed can be made to remove citizens like yourself from the registry.

Over twenty years ago I was on my way home from work when I encountered a prostitute. When this woman propositioned me I foolishly accepted, such was the misjudgement born of a recent divorce. While she looked, acted , and sounded like she was an adult, she was in fact 17 yoa. Although she admitted she was a prostitute, admitted lying about her age, admitted she knew she looked older, and that I was not adjudicated guilty of ant felonies by the court, I am still required to be on the registry.

Up until this incident, I am someone who spent most of their life in a “special operations” environment. Not having ever lost my second amendment right, I am someone who exercises them.

So I say to the vigilante in Clermont and to any of you reading this that are like minded, should you ever come to my home and threaten me or my family you will not survive it. Make sure that your affairs are in order prior to arriving at my home to make those you leave behind less hindered by your lack of preparation. I will give you no quarter as you and those like you intend to give none of the same. So the next time you decide to pick someone off the registry to harm or murder I’m hoping it will be me.

My son got permission from his PO when he was on paper to keep a baseball bat by his door – now that he is off paper he still keeps it there. A baseball bat is not considered a weapon. Not as good as a firearm but if someone you do not know is at the door have your hand around the bat

1. Don’t open the door to anyone you don’t know.
2. Put up “No Trespassing” and “No Solicitors” signs on your door.
3. Think like Jackie Chan, keep weapon-like objects at strategic locations throughout the house in case of a running battle.
4. Keep Wasp/Hornet spray at your bedside.
5. Keep a selection of kitchen knives at your bedside and where you can reach them at the sound of your bedroom door being kicked in or window busted in.

That’s just off the top of my head. Stay aware, alert and always be ready for an attack.

Agree, Cameras is number 1 but a cameras will not defend you.
2 A highly trained dog -Doberman or German Shepherd is your first line of defense. Not a Pit Bull too small of an animal.
3 The crossbow its 100% Legal an 100% lethal, if someone breaks in your home with a hammer is one thing, but if he/she comes in with a 45 is another thing. The dog will stop the intruder for a few seconds, time for you to grab your crossbow. The question is will you pull the trigger. You have to protect your dog. The dog is protecting you. Me personally I will pull the trigger… This is what public registry has created…

Unfortunately many registrants are not allowed on the Internet. So print out copies and give out to those who need them.
