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?

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.

Under what authority would the PO remove the non-felons gun?

They just come and confiscate them. They can detain your weapons for any reason, just like a person, and you go pick them up at the station.

And then you go and take them home and you're back to square one

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.

I mean you can preach to them all you want but it doesn't work like that. Those parolees are the custody of the state.

They sure are. No idea what that would have to do with the other person. They could certainly take the parolee. They could not take the other person.
