I have a friend who wants to get a CPL and carry a firearm, but her husband is a prohibited person.
Does anyone know to what degree she would legally have to secure the firearm?
In her purse, on her person, in a small biometric safe, in her car?

Thanks in advance.

if they live in the same house she cant if she doesnt want the husband arrested.

its is considered constuctive possession

This is not something she should take casual internet advice on.

The results might very well be severe criminal penalties for both her (providing access of a firearm to a felon) or him (constructive possession of guns OR ammunition).

At minimum, while not legal advice, the gun AND ammo probably need to be on her person or locked in a safe for which he does NOT have access to (no key or combo knowledge). But I stress she needs to retain counsel and get a legal opinion with citations to protect both of them. And he probably needs to do so as well.

Got a friend in the same boat. Sold him a gun a few months ago and I still have it in my safe waiting for him to get her legal.

She needs safe storage that he does not have access to, like a safe he doesn't know the combination to.

She cannot relinquish control of the weapon at any point, it's either on her person, or in the safe.... Ditto goes with carrying in the vehicle. Can't just toss it in a locking center console if he has access to they keys.

Straw purchase?

Not really a purchase yet. No paperwork has been filled out and the gun is not yet fully paid and is still in my possession.

Thanks,

She went down and applied for her CPL, is waiting to buy a handgun until she figures out the rest.
PD quoted her 8-12 weeks for the CPL to be mailed.
Ya, RCW says 30 days but apparently there is no penalty if they wait to mail it.

But at least if she needs a gun in the months to come, she doesn't have to wait to pick it up from the store.
Well, unless the NICS system isn't working.

That really fucking pisses me off.

I have a friend who’s son got arrested for drugs. Felony level. Attorney told the dad he couldn’t even have his own hunting rifle in the house, whether it was in a safe or not. He gave them to a friend to hold until the son moved out. This was about 7 years ago though.

But like LC said, contact a lawyer.

Internet advice is worth what you pay for it.

~80 bucks a month?

You've received some advice, to varying degrees, that answers your main question....

Erring on the side of caution and waiting, while getting her husband to apply to have his rights reinstated, seems the most prudent.

Pepper spray, knives less than 3", and self- defense classes would be the carry of choice while waiting, as well as the aforementioned legal advice.

And a small, strong, EDC flashlight.

Pepper spray, knife and self defense training is also very good even if you have a cpl.

Definitely, can't believe I omitted that, thanks.
