[QUOTE="MR.T., post: 3211069, member: 4793"] So I have a concern, A few years ago a fellow I know thru a family in my church started doing some rather stupid stuff & making poor decisions. Lets call him MS. It got bad enough that he got arrested for minor things several times & would spend a week or so in jail from time to time. It then escalated to MS getting in an argument with someone he worked with & in another dumb decision MS followed him home to continue the altercation & ended with him getting arrested again after he went back to his pickup & grabbed his shotgun & he even pointed it at the other guy just as the police showed up. I guess this got MS charged with a felony, but i also guess all this happened just before he turned 18. His gun ownership privileges were taken away, he spent a short time in prison. I have tried to be a good mentor to MS when I can. I have helped him out with his vehicles from time to time, I've let him use my mig welder once when he needed to use it (& he did return it in short order & in the same condition). So as of last week I see him in town, he has just turned 22 & is married now (which really surprised me) to a seemingly real nice young lady. MS tells me that he has gotten his right to own firearms again, that all his past crimes have been expunged because he was still a minor when all that happened. & he has recently ordered a Canik TP9-FX from a local gun shop & just waiting for it to come in. In the moment, I congratulated him, but in my mind he is still a felon. But I also believe he really is trying to straighten his act up, he has a good job right now that he has kept for a while, he has a new wife. But im not sure I want to be spending alot of time with him at the range. I'm just not sure right now if I should just go to the range with him once & see how he acts, or just tell him I'm busy or out of town whenever he wants to go do some shooting. Any advice givers here. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
