This should be interesting to see how it all shakes out. Got his Alabama permit, so it would seem he tries to stay within the law. Maybe he didn't realize NY is not part of the U.S. of A anymore. Ignorance of the law should be a very valid excuse, hell most NY citizens don't know all the nuances of the gun laws or even the gun laws themselves, and many cop's as well.

more than half of the players represented by the agency were heading to

Mexico for an event

NY, hell he was headed to Mexico. He probably thought he was more important than he really was. I feel mildly sorry for the guy but life's lesson here is that the system will jamb you up every chance it gets.

Took awhile for the follow up. Here is how it played out, laws for thee but not for me.

They do not want to fight someone in court who has the resources to run this all the way up.

Nobody who can afford a million dollar legal battle will ever go to prison over the unconstitutional NY gun laws.

In March, Spiro said there was “allegedly a technical issue with the manner in which the lawfully owned firearm was stored.”

That's a nice way of putting it.

I hope I get the same treatment if I'm ever in a similar position.

He's probably a thug.

But maybe not.

I like to think all American citizens who want to own a pistol should be allowed to do so.

It seems like he legally obtained it.


I hope they try to make an example out of him and that he fights it. He would actually have the resources to fight it and try to get it thrown out and a precedent set for everyone else. (Which is exactly why this case will disappear, they won't risk that)


It's still 100% completely wrong and criminal that a guaranteed right is this hard to exercise. It's extremely burdensome for citizens to get permits to legally own and possess their property in all states and counties. We need national reciprocity and make it illegal for any sub municipality to make more restrictive laws.

It's completely unrealistic to expect average people to be able to know all the gun laws in every place they travel.

Look at the bright side, at least he didn’t shoot himself in the leg like Plaxico.

This pisses me off more than the laws themselves almost. The hypocrisy is absolutely maddening.

 

[Nevar]

Of course because he is Not white and Middle class

This pisses me off more than the laws themselves almost. The hypocrisy is absolutely maddening.

This is not the first time someone in a position of "favor" was handled with special treatment that any of us common folk would not enjoy.

I vaguely remember a local Buffalo councilman or school board member who carried into a school and the DA (local asshole) wrote it off, on public media, with the statement to the effect "he didn't mean any harm" and walked out with a nice slap on the back. Would like to know if he even lost his permit?

Please inform me about middle class working WHITE privileged.
