Roof's father, whose name has not been released, purportedly gave him a .45-caliber pistol for his 21st birthday, though it's unclear if that was the weapon used in the shooting.

Under current South Carolina state law, if Dylann Roof’s father was aware of his son's pending felony charges from February when he gifted his son the pistol in April, that would make his father guilty of a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison!
Any parent who gives their child a gun, a child who has been involved with illegal drugs (or prescription drugs, controlled substances, without an Rx), who has been mixed up in felony charges ... that parent can and will be an assessory to crimes committed with that weapon, from what I underestand.

Doubt that "pending felony charges" actually apply. Charges "pending" aren't an actual charge and there is no felony conviction at that point.

Probably right. A pending Felony does not preclude someone from owning or carrying a firearm, unless there is separate statuatory restrictions for such pending convictions in State Law.
