I know a couple who's marriage has been on the rocks. Well, recently it got to fisticuffs and the dude went to jail. He got out the next day and went to get some stuff from the house and the police wouldn't let him take his guns. I can understand this as he's now got a VPO against him. I was talking about it with my wife and we were wondering if the conviction (he admitted hitting her so pretty much guaranteed and he is charged with misdemeanor domestic violence) would bar him from ever owning a gun again legally. I know he won't meet the qualifications of question 11 i on the 4473, but does that mean he can't by from a dealer or does it mean that he can't own a gun period?
