Domestic Violence: Lautenberg Act/Application

samedi 8 novembre 2014

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia/Federal





I am trying to determine if the Lautenberg Act would prevent the possession of firearms in the case of a person convicted of Simple Battery where the accused was the child (son) and the victim was the father. I believe it does not apply but am looking for verification from anyone with experience in this area.



The language of the act from the DOJ website....



Qualifying Offenses: As enacted the statute defines "misdemeanor crime of domestic violence" (MCDV) as any state or federal misdemeanor that -

"has, as an element, the use or attempted use of physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon, committed by a current or former spouse, parent, or guardian of the victim, by a person with whom the victim shares a child in common, by a person who is cohabiting with or has cohabited with the victim as a spouse, parent, or guardian, or by a person similarly situated to a spouse, parent, or guardian of the victim."





Thanks!
