I don't recall the outcome but I think the criminal charges were cut. The teen settled a civil lawsuit too.
ACP: The story doesn't say he's anti-gun or anti-2nd A.
It says he's anti-violence.
Different things, as you and I and every responsible firearms owner knows.
Still, dumb move.
Cleveland civil rights attorney David Malik arrested with gun at airport, police say
February 15, 2015
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A prominent Cleveland civil rights attorney was arrested Saturday at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in connection with carrying a concealed weapon. "I participated in a target shooting class recently with a certified CCW instructor and I simply forgot to remove it from my bag," Malik said in a statement. "I used the bag to pack for my trip. It was a stupid mistake."
"What's interesting about David is he is such an anti-gun person," Loomis said. "He's such an anti-violence person, and of all the things for him to get arrested for, that really surprises me."
OilyPablo said:He's an idiot.
Pretty much sums it up on every level.

Especially since he has sued the Cleveland Police Department several times for misconduct.I would need more evidence that Malik is "anti-gun" than the word of Cleveland Police union leader Steve Loomis.
"As a civil rights attorney Malik has built his career protecting the American people from encroaching and oppressive law enforcement practices. He works day in and day out fighting the good fight. The essence of his work is to safeguard our fundamental rights, rights deemed necessary to our system of ordered liberty and justice. The right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right Malik honors and supports. Loomis's unsubstantiated assertion that Malik is an "anti-gun person" appears to have been made in retaliation to Malik's recent and pending lawsuits brought against the Cleveland Police Department for acts of excessive and unreasonable force. The claims supporting these lawsuits have been corroborated in the DOJ's timely release of its investigation of the Cleveland police department. Instead of making false accusations concerning Malik's stance on gun ownership, Loomis should focus his energy to effect positive change within our community.
