Orden de riesgo sustancial sobre la transferencia de armas de fuego

Explicación Simple

Si alguien tiene una orden que dice que no puede tener un arma, puede darle su arma a otra persona que sea mayor de 21 años. Pero hay que hacer un proceso en la corte para asegurarse de que la otra persona no tenga problemas legales para tener un arma.

Es como cuando prestas tu bicicleta a un amigo, pero antes debes asegurarte de que no tenga problemas para andar en ella y que no la use cerca de ti si no estás seguro de que es seguro.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan tiene una orden de riesgo porque ha estado en problemas. Él quiere que su amigo Pedro, que tiene más de 21 años y no tiene antecedentes, use su arma de fuego. Ambos van a la corte, donde se verifica que Pedro puede tenerla y se hace el proceso para que él pueda recibirla legalmente.

Any person whose firearm has been voluntarily relinquished pursuant to § 19.2-152.13 or this section, or such person's legal representative, may transfer the firearm to another individual 21 years of age or older who is not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing such firearm, provided that: 1.

At the hearing, the attorney for the Commonwealth advises the court that a law-enforcement agency has determined that the transferee is not prohibited from possessing or transporting a firearm; 3. The transferee does not reside with the person subject to the order; 4. The court informs the transferee of the requirements and penalties under § 18.2-308.2:1 ; and 5.
