Pretty sure this idiot does not have a CCW

[VietnamEraVet]

A local idiot was caught on film firing a handgun near a fight outside a local bar at 3:45AM... He was charged with reckless endangerment and possession of a loaded firearm.

Arrest made in Sunday shooting incident on Chippewa Street (Check out the video, the reporter is pretty hot!)
Here's the update re his arrest where they named him: Arrest made in Sunday shooting incident on Chippewa Street

I did a quick search on him and found he was arrested for a bunch of shit a couple of years ago. Here is that article: SP Fredonia: Dunkirk Man arrested for Criminal Impersonation 2nd Degree

I can't imagine that he is a CCW holder. (thankfully, or the MSM would be all over it). What kills me, is: what the HELL was he thinking? The cops ID'd him from a video and arrested him later. But if they had been there and arrested him right then, EVEN IF he claimed he fired it to try and stop a beating in the street, he would have been arrested for carrying illegally.

Not quite sure exactly what the "possession of a loaded firearm" charge is. If he has a permit somehow, how could it be any kind of illegal possession? Even a restricted permit would only be administrative restrictions, and nothing criminal. So, I figure it had to be that he does not have a CCW permit at all.

DUMB, just DUMB!

On one of the news channels they were doing an update on this story and at the end they mentioned that BPD is going to be cutting down on the details assigned to Chippewa and Allen street districts due to overtime budget constraints. Bar owners are going to talk to the Common Council to get this corrected.

Also, BPD commissioner Daniel Drenda retired.

Run like hell. Ditch the illegal gun. When the cops catch up to you say it was a blank firing replica gun.

Back in the sixties whenever one of the guys got a notice to report to the federal building on main street for a pre-induction physical it was time for a 'Road Trip'!!! Get a room across the street and party all night, Chippewa was always on the tour, lot of strange mofo's around there back then.

He's not that smart... and, are those actually legal here in New Yorkistan?

I've been Ubering down there, and some of the same types are still there. It's one reason I really don't take fares there at those hours.

If he didn't have a permit, wouldn't he be charged with criminal possession of a firearm? I'll bet he has a permit but it's restricted and they're just charging him for anything that they could get to stick. Regardless, he's an idiot.

What!?

What in the world have "restrictions" got to do with this? Would it have been legal to do what he did then?

Not sure where you are getting "restrictions..."

You're right. With or without a permit, with or without restrictions, this warrants way more than just possession of a loaded firearm charges. I'm just trying to understand how they could have come up with that charge.

For all we know, that charge is completely inaccurate but the media had to report "something". Who knows?

Uuummm?

When the cops catch you you say “i will not answer any questions.” Followed by “i want to speak to a lawyer”

Nothing else.

Nothing else.

To put a finer point on it, you say “I don’t want to speak without my lawyer”. Never say you won’t answer questions or that you take the 5th. As it turns out that CAN be used against you in a court of law.

I recommend this extremely well written and research book all the time to folks who want to read up on the subject:

Attorney Duane's video on YouTube on this topic is a classic and a must watch!

Yes they are legal in NYS outside of NYC. It's not a firearm as it does not expel a projectile.

Okay, to start off with, the reporter is absolutely NIT hot. Not in the least.

Second, the charges they list are incomplete.

Meh, I'd give her a solid 6? Then again, I'm a sucker for blondes and redheads.

To each their own, of course, and YMMV. But she’s hot IMHO.

Do they expel a shell? How would he be able to explain the shell found at the scene with his DNA on it, - assuming it can be proved that the shell had a projectile fired from it? Oh that, Officer,- that was an old shell I picked up at the range, and it must have fallen out of my pocket while I was standing there...

And then, there would be the gun residue on his hands and clothing to explain away...

Now, I suppose that if they did not find him until a week later, and did not find a gun in his possession, and they didn’t find those clothes,- maybe??? But I really don’t think so. And clearly, he’s nowhere near that smart to begin with.

Just following the advice of our former VP of firing some blasts in the air. Can't say I blame him.
