Officers responded to a call of suspected domestic violence. When they arrived at the home, they disarmed a man of a semiautomatic handgun. Upon questioning, the man told the officers that he had a clean record, except for a conviction for battery seven years ago. After confirming the prior conviction, the officers arrested the man for possession of a firearm by a person convicted of a specified misdemeanor. Did they act appropriately?
a) Yes, as a conviction for battery is a specified misdemeanor prohibiting firearm possession.
b) No, unless the prior conviction was related to domestic violence.
c) Yes, as any prior misdemeanor conviction justifies the arrest.
d) No, unless there was clear evidence of current domestic violence.
