When the law-abiding are turned into criminals :: 04/05/2015
In recent years I’ve often brought attention to cases of people being entangled in our nation’s complex, confusing and often irrational gun laws. People like David Olofson, who was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for illegal transfer of a “machine gun” after his standard, semi-auto, AR15-style rifle – with no altered or modified parts – malfunctioned as a friend was shooting it and fired multiple shots with one pull of the trigger.

When the law-abiding are turned into criminals-No firearm owner is safe-Shipley Case :: 04/05/2015
Suppose you sold a car and it was later used in a hit-and-run fatality. Would you be culpable? Suppose the person who used it didn’t have a driver’s license. Would that make you responsible?

When the law-abiding are turned into criminals-Prosecution as Punishment-Kwan Case :: 04/05/2015
The Troubling Case of Albert Kwan - People who "have nothing to hide" are often quite happy to answer any questions and consent to any intrusion a police officer might ask of them. They may even invite officers to "look around" if they want to. If you ask a good defense attorney how much you should cooperate with police, particularly when they are conducting an investigation in which you could possibly be a suspect, he will tell you "Not at all." Don't give them one word more than you must and never give them permission to search your car, look through your home, or examine any of your guns.
When the law-abiding are turned into criminals-The Accidental Felon-Olofson Case :: 04/05/2015
There are several ways for a person to unintentionally commit a felony, but most of them are looked at by prosecutors, judges, and juries as the accidents they are and dealt with accordingly.
