I used his .22 revolver in the state of Florida at a range. I used another revolver .38 that he rented with his money at the range, and I used a stranger's Glock 9mm handgun as well at the range. I shot at targets and learned how to load and reload them, nothing else. Is it illegal for my... View More

No, assuming you are not disqualified from possessing a firearm (because of a felony conviction, for example) it is not illegal for you to borrow and fire someone's firearm at a gun range.
But, for the safety of yourself and others, be sure someone gives you basic firearms safety... View More
My brother has been living with me for about 3 months and I have reason to believe he spit in my lotion after an argument thinking I wouldn’t know.
While I don’t have any physical proof this happened would the local PD be able to test it for his saliva?

What's your problem? Even if you, for some reason, ingest the lotion, do you really think that would infect you with some serious disease? No, it's obviously not worth your time.

If he was arrested on a federal charge, look up his case on PACER, the federal courts website, and see if bond has been posted.

No, your mom is not prohibited from purchasing firearms just because her husband has been convicted of a California misdemeanor involving domestic violence. If she acquires the firearm with the intended purpose that he has access to it, she would be committing a felony; see Florida Statute... View More

Several court reporters are refusing to submit a electronic transcript to a litigant in an attempt to conceal a fraudulent court.

answered on Nov 6, 2022
That's weird. A reporter must provide a requested transcript to a party to the case if the party pays the estimated cost up front, and an appropriate motion to the court may be made to seek relief. Which law applies depends on which court you're in.

Mere possession of a counterfeit document is not necessarily a crime.
It's not really up to the judge to do anything. You could, if you want, report it to the federal authorities, and see if they want to prosecute.

Perhaps not. If such a "black powder gun" falls within the definition of an "antique firearm", as defined in Florida Statute 790.001 (1), which reads "any firearm manufactured in or before 1918 (including any matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar early type of... View More

Yes, it does seem as though it may be some sort of a scam. A stranger who you met online sending you stuff such as cash is suspicious. Contact the Department of Homeland Security &/or the FBI.

Did you file a police report for fraud? That's about the extent of what you can do in the criminal realm. You may be able to pursue civil claims for fraud. I suggest speaking with an attorney. Good luck.

In order to have someone assist you on this very serious matter, try to phrase this as a question. For example, what question do you want an answer to? Ex: Can they do that? What should you do next? You may want to directly consult with a criminal defense attorney in your area.

It's hard to find a state where a ballistic knife isn't banned. In Florida, they're the only knife that is banned by name. My question is, what about a ballistic spike? If the protruding portion of the spring-based weapon doesn't have a sharp edge along the length, but instead... View More

There is an old saying in criminal defense: “You might beat the case, but you won’t beat the ride to jail.” Basically, while you may be right that a spike is not the same thing as a blade, a police officer may not agree with you and might arrest you anyways, and then you will have to fight...
