Right. > [@Marconi\_N.Cheese](#): > > So; ok to discuss, with the exception of topics relating to growing it, selling it, buying it, and using it? Like I said, some discussion of use is allowed. ---

> [@jtgain](#): > > That’s a good point. For example, a person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence offense is prohibited from owning guns at a federal level, but it is legal in many states. > > Can a poster say, “I have a prior DV conviction but I was enjoying target shooting yesterday when…”? if that poster lives in a state that doesn’t forbid prior DV convictions from being a disqualifying factor? There are shooting ranges that will rent you a gun to target shoot with, or you can show up at one with a friend and rent range time. You do not need to own a gun to shoot a gun. I have people come over to learn gun safety that borrow my guns. ---
