Ramos-Jimenez said he stored his weapon “in the top shelf of his son’s bedroom,”
What the fuck
Dad was a convicted felon not supposed to own a gun.
By keeping it in his son’s room, he could try to argue he didn’t own a gun.
Sounds like he loved guns more than his kids.
Nope. A felon can’t have a gun in the house, claimed ownership doesn’t matter.
I didn’t say it was a good plan.
I doubt that, sounds like his felonies were for selling drugs.
Given that, it’s not unreasonable to assume he lived in a sketchy area and his defense of buying the gun for self defense isn’t unreasonable.
It’s just the whole leaving it in the kids room thing that’s a problem.
He’s barred from having a firearm and he told police he bought the AR-style rifle “through a private sale for personal protection,” the probable cause document said.
That’s why it was in his son’s room.
I mean in theory, but it’s not like he’s trying to claim the gun was his kid’s.
If his house got searched based off his drug dealing, his defense attorney would be able to argue there’s no proof which adult owns the gun in the kid’s closet. He put his kids in physical danger in a failed attempt to reduce his legal danger.
Nah, he can’t have a gun in his house, full stop. Ownership does not come into play.
Had a buddy on parole go back in because his parole officer found his friend’s, quickly hidden, gun in the couch cushions.
Now this guy sounds dumb enough to believe “it’s my son’s” would fly, but it won’t.
Maybe if drug crimes didn’t make someone a prohibited person we wouldn’t be in this mess.
And if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
USA! USA! USA! USA!
Seriously though this is a tragedy
I’m struggling too hard with the first part to get any satisfaction from the second part.
Good job Irvin Ramos-Jimenez
