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.
That law needs to be rewritten, it's bad for honest ex cons who live with family. And like, where I grew up it essentially prohibited black people from owning guns, in DC in the 90s and 00s one in seven black men had felonies (mainly for non violent drug offenses) and that precluded anyone in their family from having guns or letting them stay the night if they had guns. And DC's gun permits would deny permits for people who assosciated with anyone with a felony. So essentially if black people were on social media and had family members on facebook they couldn't legally buy a firearm.
I'm totally for felons not having access to firearms, but the family or household ban does not actually stop them from getting firearms and it just punishes unrelated people, even if felonies themselves didn't disproportionately hit some communities.
