This is absolutely, positively, and in every way, WRONG.
The judge abused his power and should be fired.
Yes, the felony guilty plea removes Mr. Marok's 2A rights. But not hers. Making her relinquish her concealed carry permit and sign away 2A rights is wrong.
True, she can't have guns in the house. That doesn't mean she shouldn't be allowed to have them elsewhere.
I am a gun owner. I keep a rifle in my bedroom. When my brother-in-law got out of jail, he used our home as a transitional home while he re-establzished himself. Did I have to surrender my rifle? Nope. Just stored it at father-in-law's home for a year, then picked it back up after brother-in-law moved out. And I could have easily picked ked it up and gun hunting or shooting any time I wanted.
There is absolutely no reason Ms. Mark could not do the same. Forcing this decision - and on the spot, too, with no chance for legal counsel - is just plain wrong.

"True, she can't have guns in the house."
NOT TRUE, she can not have guns in the house the husband HAS ACCESS to. That is not a guess on my part, it is an accusation and then court decided my legal right to have a gun regardless of whether a restricted felon or person on parole forbidden from having possession of a firearm was upheld.. The gun could be on my person, or in a locked container either was eliminating access to the restricted person to a firearm.

SGM Erik Marquez - This situation would be no different than NFA items that if you are not on the trust they must be locked out of the access of the person not on said trust.

SFC Casey O'Mally
SGM Erik Marquez You are right. Let me rephrase...
I removed my rifle from my home for HIS benefit (the felons), not mine. I could legally keep the rifle, but if the PO THOUGHT he had access, while he was on parole, his ass was grass, whether or not he DID have access.
Same for Ms. Marok. I am sure she would prefer to not have funs in the home, just to be safe and make sure there was absolutely no doubt about Mr. Marok's access, at least while he was still on probation.
The key here is access, and anti-gun prosecutors, much like BATFE, will twist words as much as necessary to make (cuurently) law-abiding citizens into criminals.
"Did you ever shower Ms. Marok?"
Of course I did.
"And where was the gun while you were showering, Ms. Marok?"
In the safe, of course.
"And where was the key to the safe, Ms. Marok?"
It doesn't have a key, it is a combination.
"And do you know, for absolutely certainty, that Mr. Marok has not figured out the combination? Remember, you are under oath."
Well, I never gave him the combination.
"But is it possible, Ms. Marok, that during your many showers you admit to having taken, he figured out the combination?"
I guess it is possible.
"A-ha! You see, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, even the defendant's own wife admits she could not prevent access with 100% certainty. I submit to you, that Mr. Marok, by his wife's own admission, had access to a firearm in violation of his probation."
Is it far-fetched? Absolutely. Would I put it past some of our shadier DAs? No. No, I would not.
That's why I say she couldn't have a weapon in the home. Not because she legally could not. But because better judgment (IMHO) would opt not to, at least while he is on probation. Parole and probation are a LOT easier to "violate" and send folks to jail for.

SOME FOLKS A TOO STUCK UP TO ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. LIKE THESE FOLKS WHO WAIT 20 YEARS LATER TO GO TO THE VA TO LOCAL VA REP FOR HELP.
SOME THINK THEY ARE TOO GOOD AND IT WILL MAKE THEM LOOK BAD.
MOST FOLKS WHO WAITED, ARE NOW A JUST A NUIMBER IN THE BOOKS OF THE MHI THAT DESTROYS US AND THE FAMILY AROUND THEM.

In my case, i " waited" till the disease froze me. I could not even say anything. Just in a world without light and full of screaming voices and even vodka couldn't dull them for me to get rest from passing out drunk.
It was not so much that i was too good for care, but in a state of suspended logic. I did not want to take any time away from the Vets that had combat experience and needed the hour or so for them.
It came to a point of sheer meltdown. Divorce, bankruptcy, could not hold a job or even a nightshift security job. Just everything collapsed. All that i was trying to appear normal was gone. Wife- of Hosea, family , in name mostly, a job where i could work for a living...
It just vanished... still the voices are there, but i can place them on squelch at most times. Too good for care? Not so much.

Amn Dale Preisach I hear you and your courageous story. I send encouragement and support. Seems to me that we all have obstacles to overcome in order to begin healing. And, like you, mine were outward things like job, divorce, money, alcoholism, etc AND inner things like illogical thinking, shame, despair, PTSD, etc.
I think it is awesome that you and me and so many others have been able to begin the climb out of the pit.
And I pray for those who are still lost and trapped. May their turning point come soon:)
