It has been my boyfriend’s dream to join the Navy or Marines since he was young. He migrated to the US in 2005 when he was 18 years old but just three months later got in trouble with the law. He got caught with 0 dollars in counterfeit money and was charged with 1 count possession of counterfeit money and 2 counts of possession with intent to pass or use 0 in counterfeit money. One charge of intent to pass or use was dropped but the other along with the possession charge wasn’t. In the end, he was given 3 years of probation, 50 hours of community service and asked to pay 0 fine.

When he got arrested, he was already scheduled to take the ASVAB for the Navy. He really did not know that the money was counterfeit, it was given to him by some friends who were also arrested with him but somehow got off and were never charged with anything. He was new to the country, barely spoke the language and didn’t even have the money to get a lawyer.

He was recently released from probation and has tried to speak with recruiters from the Army and Marines, he knows that it’s impossible to join the Navy with a felony but that the Army and Marines might be possible with waivers. However, he has been quite unlucky as no one seems to want to go through the trouble of helping him.

Recently, he found a Marine recruiter who was willing to help but he said my boyfriend first needed to get a waiver of the gun control act which prevents all felons from possessing firearms but he didn’t tell us how that can be done.

If anyone could help us by giving some tips on how to go through with this, it would be great.

Don’t they have shooting in the Olympics?

Wouldn’t Daley have to repeal the HIGHLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW in regards to no one but Police and Military Personnel being able to even so much as possess a firearm for the Olympics?

Just HAVING a firearm of ANY kind is illegal in Chicago City Limits… So just having the teams land at O’Hare means that they are automatic felons… (Since O’Hare is part of Chicago. Look at a map of Chicago and see how they made THAT happen! LOL)

But seriously… With the way the laws are in Chicago right now… To even OWN a firearm means you are committing a felony, which means that you can no longer legally carry a firearm in the rest of the US, since felons have their 2nd amendment rights revoked…

And if Daley makes an acceptation for the Olympic people… Then that opens up all sorts of grounds for teams and clubs to legally get a waver as well…

Either way… Daley’s dreams of having the 2016 Olympics would be dashed on the rocks because he would have to choose between the Olympics and his beloved anti-gun laws…

Opinions?
I’m not saying that they would shoot HUMANS…

Shooting is an Olympic sport…

You have to have guns to shoot… Be it a sport or something illegal…

The ban is for ANYONE other then cops and military.

So to be able to do their sport… They will be automatically violating the ban on firearms.

I DO NOT think they will shoot people… But a full ban is a full ban and if you give an acceptation to one group, it will lead to more.

Were they able to own guns again after honorable discharge?
The debate is not if the military takes felons, they do on occasion and have each year. Last year had at least a dozen felons accepted into the military if not more.
