Why Constitutional Carry Needs to be National

[Sasquatch]

A retired Marine stops a potential killing (they say potential mass shooting, but even if he just stopped a nutter from shooting *one* person, that's plenty heroic) by taking down a gun-waving nutjob *with his bare hands*

When police arrive to take the gun waving nutter into custody for his criminal actions, the retired Marine, thinking he's doing the right thing, informs the police that he's got a concealed handgun license and he's carrying. The problem? The incident happened in Maryland. The heroic Marine is from Virginia. NO reciprocity, and the cops are assholes who arrested the good guy right along with the bad guy. Now the good guy is facing charges and will likely lose his right to carry, even if its a misdemeanor.

Permits / licenses for a *right* are pure bullshit. If a driver license / ID is valid across state lines, then at the very least carry permits should be the same, but carry permits ARE an infringement against a God given, Constitutionally recognized right to begin with.

Marine should have kept his crayon eating mouth shut. LEOs are not your friend and he *should* have known reciprocity status.

Sometimes I wonder if people with military service - especially career military - get used to deferring to authority a bit too much? Not all, of course, but most vets, esp. lifers, don't see the government and their agents as antagonistic unless they had a...colorful...career and lots of run-ins with the law. I wonder if that played a part there?

And yes - he *should* know reciprocity, we don't know how long he's has his carry license, or if he knew he was breaking Maryland law or what. Maybe he knew, and thought that his actions of stopping the bad guy would garner favor and the cops would overlook the transgression.

How about just forcing them to honor our 2A ? Our SCotUS has been NEGLIGENT for hundreds of years in that area.

My first drivers license at 16 was not valid in NYC so reciprocity was not a certainty. Permitless carry needs to be universal and LTC needs to be universal. Don't hold your breath.

LEOs are not your friend

Why lawyers advise people to shut the hell up. People have a tendency to blab when they think they are in the moral right. Moral does not mean lawful and lawful does not mean moral.

Is that adage you can't talk your way out of going to jail but you can talk your way into the crossbar hotel. Too bad for this veteran. He needs the right kind of lawyer will fight for him and the jury that will say not guilty. Jury nullification would be in order.

 

[Havok1]

The last people I want in charge of carry laws is the federal government.

Thread.

As much as it sucks...Marine boned himself.

Yeah. She's nice on the eyes. I had no plans to play the video until your post.

How do you think she got out of her speeding tickets?......

Any prosecutor that takes this case deserves to be at the scene of the next mass murder....

He says he won’t take a plea and will fight this.
It could help with national reciprocity…we shall see

That’s just wrong

 

[ZX9RCAM]

He was carrying a .22, in a holster?

Yeah that sorta jumped out at me also.

A .22 M9 ??

 

[rotor]

The problem here is that he probably knew he was carrying illegally in Maryland. I don’t agree with him being arrested but he was illegal. I hope he fights and wins but I am not optimistic. Reminds me of those 2 Texas women carrying in NYC arrested. You need to know the laws when you carry.

Have you seen the size of the rats in those democrat cities? They grow pretty large. He should have at least stepped up to .22mag
