If there is a individual caught with a firearm, and is under age as well, and was processed
With procession of a firearm. Also if it was consider a misdemeanor with no intent will
This be on that individuals record, even when they were caught when they were under age. Will this remain on their permanent record, or will it drop off after they turn eighteen, or twenty-one?

Good evening,

Is the legal system allowed to prolong the date until a minor turns legal age for a misdemeanor, possession of a firearm? Actually the person with them had it, but
They were charged also. This person was not of age yet, and was to turn eighteen
In several weeks, or possibly a month. The court system prolong the date of the
Hearing to charge this individual with possession, and gave this person that wasn't
Even carrying it, and not criminal activity was going on. Just caught with these
Individuals, and most of them were under age. The person (boy) wasn't of age for
Several weeks, and the court system gave this boy six years, two years in jail, and
Four years probation.

When you say "underage" what was the age, If they were a minor and you were in the US the records of minors are sealed when they turn 18.

The date of the trial does not matter, it is the age of the person at the time of the crime.
Court cases can take years.

Hello baugh:

Something isn't kosher here...

You can't get 2 years in the slam and 4 years on probation for a misdemeanor. Additionally, you don't get 2 years in the slam and 4 years on probation, especially if you're a minor, for simply possessing a firearm.

If you would like to tell us what REALLY happened and what he was REALLY charged with, maybe we can help. I don't mean to imply that you're lying. You are, however, misinformed.

I have to agree with excon here. You aren't telling us the whole story. I really find it hard to believe that a minor would be sentenced to 2 years incarceration just for being in a group where one or more of the group possessed a firearm.

Some possible scenerios are that the minor had a prior record, or the group committed a crime or crimes.

Thanks for your input, and I tend to agree also,
But the facts in a different state sometimes make up
Guidelines as they go along. The facts came from a
Parent that had talk with an attourney from that
Jurisdiction, and informed him because of his rough
Record, and attitude if he comes back, and gets in
Trouble they will throw the book away. Well everybody
And their mother has some sort of record, and again
We are talking about a minor. Though they are not
Perfect, and shouldn't be allowed to do whatever they
Want, and whenever they want to do it. Rules, and laws
Are there to be carried out to the letter, and the law, and
Or civilian has no right to break it no matter what their
Own personal agendas may be at the time.

So what you are saying is this minor had a prior record and was warned to stay out of trouble. Yet he ignored the warning hanging out with a gang that was armed. And when he was caught they "threw the book at him". And you have a problem with this?? Vave you heard the saying, if you can't do the time, then don't do the crime?

Sounds to me like the punk got what he deserved.
