--------- Not enough info to answer. What kind of "illegal gun?" Is the weapon illegal or is the person possessing it, in illegal posession of it (i.e.: convicted felon, or convicted of domestic violence)?
Federal law (and most state laws) prohibit persons convicted of crimes of Domestic Violence from ever owning firearms.
No. From what you describe, it would be a domestic violence incident. FEDERAL law prohibits anyone with a domestic violence conviction - whether a misdemeanor or felony - from purchasing, possessing, or being allowed access to firearms.
No. See this news article written less than a week ago: http://hamptonroads.com/2009/03/domestic-violence-guns-shouldnt-mix
Not in SD, nor in any state. Federal law. 18 US code, section 922. Sorry. You really need to talk with an attorney on this one.Added: Also - the Lautenberg Amendment to the Gun Control Act of 1968, effective 30 September 1996, makes it a felony for those convicted of crimes of domestic violence to ship, transport, possess, or receive firearms or ammunition.
The short answer is, if you are a felon, you can't own a gun. It doesn't matter whether you pled guilty or were found guilty. Felony on your record = no guns.
NO! You may NOT you will be committing a FELONY under current Federal Law, per the Lautenberg Amendment/Domestic Violence Misdemeanor Amendment to the Gun Control Act of 1968 (Title 18, U.S.C. Section 922(g)(9). Any person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence cannot possess a firearm or ammunition, unless the conviction was expunged, set aside, or you received a pardon.
No, Taser International conducts background checks and does not allow to have it's products sold to felons in any state.
If a person has poorly developed coping skills they may lash out at others when they are frustrated - even to the point of domestic violence. The responsibility and guilt for the violence rests exclusively with the person committing the violence even if the person they are assaulting has done something that frustrates them.
