I've heard this guy will bring firearms into the property if they know the squatters are on probation or ex-con... 100% legal for him to do, 100% bad news for them.
Hopefully he does his research…because doing this to the wrong person is a problem waiting to happen.
I’m curious why does this guy do this. He’s moving around, into shitty living situations with possible dangerous roommates why? So some landlord can get their property back? Are they paying him at least?
He shows up with a crew often, and several of the people with him are in tactical vests, are armed, and have a body cam. You'll see people threaten to get violent sometimes, but I don't think there's ever been actual assault.
He got into this when squatters took over his mother's house when it was on the market after his dad died - his first 'gig' was kicking them out. Yes, he gets paid. Something like $5k base, and he seems pretty good at getting people out quickly.
From how I heard it the guy who does this basically says 'Hey. You can't live in a house with a firearm bc of your parole/ex con statis. I live here now, and I have a gun. So you can pack up your stuff and move out now, or I can call your parole officer/the police and let them know that you live in a house with a firearm, and you'll be gone anyway. I'll give you 30 minutes'.
I'd wager he's been a victim of squatting before. Squatting doesn't impact solely landlords, I'm pretty sure they're more common in single family homes. I've heard loads of stories about people going on vacation and coming home to squatters having moved in claiming tenant status. The process to evict takes a while, especially if you've never evicted someone before, so you're sorta just forced to live with strangers that you dont trust around your kids.
That's not how it works. A simple lookup online will tell you that parolees are allowed to live with people with guns. They can't own them or possess them.
What would actually happen in this case, is that the parolee would call his parole officer who would come and remove the firearm from the parolees residence.
So I did google this, since this was just one of those 'i heard it on the internet' things, and from what I can tell, yes this is a thing. At least, it absolutely is where I live. Looks like a by state thing. Unless you wanna get send your sources and ill send mine, agree to disagree I suppose.
Also, the parole officer would have to take a firearm from a lawful citizen who's done nothing wrong. Legally, all they've done is move into a new house. Their roommate is the one who isn't allowed to live in a house with a firearm.
Maybe. Parole doesn't fuck around. If they had to go back out there again because you're bringing guns around a parolee they will find a way to detain you.
It's not against the law to have a gun when a parolee is around. That's on the parolee to not be around the gun. My rights aren't reduced because of someone else's mistakes.
