THE ROBBERY

In August 2003, Steve and his seventeen old brother committed a robbery of a local convenience store with a hand gun.

Because they used a gun to commit a violent crime, they were prosecuted in federal court and are now serving time in federal prison in Oklahoma.

Get the facts on illegal gun possession.

If you are convicted of domestic violence, it’s illegal to possess a gun.

If you are under a protection of abuse order, it’s illegal to possess a gun.

If you are an illegal drug user or a convicted felon, it’s illegal to possess a gun.

If you commit a violent crime with a gun, you will go to federal prison. 

That means prison outside of Maine. 

No friends. 

No family. 

No chance of parole.  

That’s hard time.
