Sounds like you'll get to make some new friends. After my trial 6 or 7 of the jurors walked out of the courthouse all chattering and seemed like they were best buds and likely headed to a bar. And that was only 9 days or so.

If you had some largely cash based side hustles and wanted to hide the money from a bankruptcy court what would you do with it? Get a safe? Hide it in your house? Safe deposit box? Do bankruptcy courts ever get so fed up with debtors activities that they search their homes or have a PI watch them for a week?

Video games have taught me people keep large amounts of cash and gold on bank safe deposit boxes. I doubt anyone remembers, but several years ago I asked questions here about getting a lawyer for my sister, for her Social Security Disability application. After applying, denial (7 months wait), filling an appeal, waiting another 15 months, a hearing... Her disability starts in April! Total time about 2 years. (She broke her neck, and is now a partial quad) Hind sight is I wish we could have started the process when she was living off her GoFundMe. I had no idea it was so slow. A Minnesota disability resource center found us a lawyer that won't take a cut of the checks, too! They even did a practice hearing with her so she wasn't surprised by questions during the administrative appeal.

How does jury duty work at a federal level? I'm completely ignorant about this, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. It looks like the 9th circuit is most western part of the US including Alaska and Hawaii. Does that mean if you live in Alaska or Hawaii, you could get called for jury duty in California or Nevada?

It's the district in which you live, not the circuit. Like eastern district of Texas or northern district of California. Alaska has one district, so if you live anywhere in Alaska you can get called to serve. Arizona has one, Virginia has two California has four, and so on.

And beyond that, it’s typically (always?) the division of the district which you live in, which basically corresponds to “nearest federal courthouse.”

Kalman posted:And beyond that, it’s typically (always?) the division of the district which you live in, which basically corresponds to “nearest federal courthouse.” Yep; I served on a jury for the Eastern District of Virginia, so I went to the courthouse in Alexandria and the jury pool was basically just people in northern Virginia. One juror was actually dismissed because he lived far enough away that his travel pay was allowed to be a hotel room instead of just mileage, but then the budget for the room ran out (or something to that effect).

He got dismissed so that some clerk didn’t have to do more paperwork It took the federal court house about 9 months to reimburse me for parking when I interned there.

Does a felony conviction in the US take away 2a rights for life? Or is there a way for someone with a felony conviction to be allowed to regain firearms at some point down the road?

That said, you can always apply for a pardon or expungement.

In Florida at least you can regain your right to own a gun, but it takes something like 6-8 years and you have to complete your parole, ect.

B33rChiller posted:Does a felony conviction in the US take away 2a rights for life? Or is there a way for someone with a felony conviction to be allowed to regain firearms at some point down the road? Short answer - as a practical matter, a felony conviction in the US takes away 2a rights for life. Longer answer: Restoration of state gun rights depends on the state. Some states automatically restore them after a period of time. Some states will let you apply to get it back, and you can usually take the state to court if they deny you. Others require a pardon from the governor/pardon and parole board. Restoration of federal gun rights requires a presidential pardon. While there is a process to apply to the ATF to get it back and take them to court if they deny you, Congress forbid the ATF from spending any of their budget to do so process any of those applications. The US Supreme Court said not processing the application is not a denial, so no right to take the issue to court. So, as a practical matter, no restoration of federal gun rights. Even longer answer: An antique (before 1898) firearm or black powder muzzleloader doesn't count as a firearm for federal law purposes. However, some states do count antiques and black powder guns as firearms, so antiques and BP muzzle loaders aren't an automatic free pass. Check with a gun lawyer in your state before doing anything. VVVV I was pretty sure, I'm just trying to forestall some knucklehead deciding to take my dashed-off note as law. joat mon fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Apr 1, 2024 |

Thanks for the answers. I have neither 2a rights, nor a felony conviction, and don't have any plans. This was just curiosity. I understand you lose some rights (like freedom of movement) for a period of time as part of a sentence. It just struck me as odd that such a big deal right wouldn't have a mechanism for getting it back. Any of my questions about US law is from the perspective of a curious foreigner. I may have the misfortune of interacting with your legal system some day, but haven't had any reason so far.

I would like to mail a seashell pendant made from an actual seashell I found to my girlfriend in the USA for her birthday. Since seashells are marine life, I expect this will be a source of Troubles. How should I go about doing that? I looked it up online and apparently you need to declare seashells that you bring into the country, but nothing about mailing them. What should I do?

Failing to report income from tips, smuggling birds across the border in your pants, letting your livestock graze on federal land. All felonies that I can see and they have nothing to do with guns or violence. As lawyers, what are your thoughts on stripping 2A rights for non-violent crimes?
