- Q. Can I move and get a firearm in another state if there is an active PFA against me in this state?
- A: If you have an active PFA that does not allow possession of a firearm, or has certain elements of threats or violence, then you cannot possess a firearm under federal law in any state.
- Q. How do I file assault and child endangerment charges?
- A: You need to contact the police to file a report. Once the police complete the investigation, the reports will be sent to the District Attorney to make a charging decision.
- Q. Does the three different good time laws in Maine violate constitutionality and or are they discriminatory!
- A: I do not believe these laws have ever been challenged in court. Since good time is determined by the Department of Corrections and not considered part of the sentence but an administrative determination by stature, the Court may not find a constitutional violation in the difference statutes. You should consult with a constitutional law lawyer though to get a more detailed answer and analysis. Thanks
