Why is he in trouble?

[cassandrasdaddy]

that would be a most remarkably detailed report to have gleaned from a scanner. and it conflicts with the other accounts which indicate the handguns were in his luggage seperate from the long guns. that said i wish him luck . i suspect they will offer him a kiss and make up deal

Some people pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor against such abuse of rights. We call them the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Thank you, fellow American.

cd,

It sounds like it was in his suitcase, and was inside a hard pistol case locked up.

 

[kingpin008]

what case?

Seriously?


The case that this guy is going to have against the Denver P.D., the hotel management, etc.

That case.

 

[cassandrasdaddy]

i really hope so one thing gets folks in trouble is going from places with good law to places with stupid law. i know folks who got caught behind innocent mistakes

 

[cassandrasdaddy]

hate to interject reallity but what case do you imagine against the hotel? and did denver pd pop him or secretservice?
i wish him luck on a case in front of a jury

 

[Str8Shooter]

Unless you have a CCW, in Denver you've got a problem if the cops consider carrying a gun in a case "concealed". Denver prohibits open carry, so you're screwed either way.

 

[cassandrasdaddy]

how did denver get that way? it wasn't always. my kid sister lived there quite a while

Lots of liberals moved here after their work was done in Kali.

 

[velobard]

I haven't seen any updates on this story today. I sure hope this guy isn't still squating in a cell. I also hope the NRA and the RNC (this could be great PR for them, even if it is a pipe dream) is kicking in with legal assistance.

 

[taprackbang]

I have heard that Denver has gone the way of Cali, Chicago, Mass., NY,
N.J. (that is, a thorn in the side of 2nd Amendment lovers.)

Is this true?

 

[Mr_Rogers]

On the face of it this looks more serious but we still get the inevitable stupid comments.

DENVER – Police have arrested three people they believe are linked to a white supremacy group in connection with a threat to possibly assassinate Sen. Barack Obama during the Democratic National Convention.

"There is no reason for someone [with a criminal record] to have rifles with scopes," said an unidentified source.



BELOW
Agreed VARifleman, perhaps I did not make that clear.

 

[VARifleman]

Mr. Rogers,

It appears that that is a separate instance.

 

[bragood]

It amazes me how some people think "rifles with scopes" are sniper rifles. After going to a few high power matches it occured to me that these people usually form illogical opinions.

 

[Green Lantern]

Are they rewriting the laws as they go along?

If there's any truth to the city ordering the cops to ignore pot-smokers while the Convention is in town....YEP.

 

[rondog]

I believe in my rights and hate government oppression of any kind as much as the next guy, but come on....put yourself in that same situation, and try to stand your ground and demand your rights, etc. They're gonna take you down fast and hard, that's just reality, especially in a politico-heavy environment. The Speaker Of The House is in line after the Vice-President, after all.

Might be illegal, you might win the lawsuit and get a settlement, but what kind of hell do you think you'll go through during and after? Do you really think standing your ground would be worth it?

Where's the LEO opinions on this? Come on guys, I know you're out there. You've been trained for stuff like this, what's the real deal?

 

[FourTeeFive]

The SS and local LEO are going to protect the Pelosi's, Kennedy's, Obama's, Biden's, et al, at all costs.

Does the signature below sound familiar? Government officials are supposed to be deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. So what should anything change just because OUR officials are in town?

 

[cassandrasdaddy]

the real cops are probably laughing too hard

 

[dogmush]

Actually, Rondog, Given a little bit of time to think about it, I might go ahead and get beat by the cops, maybe tazed if I'm lucky. It would make the following lawsuit that much better.

This guy did, and is doing, what he thinks best. I'm not there, so I'm not going to Monday Morn. QB him. I do sincerley hope that he sues the pants of the city, and gets policy changes effected in the SS and Denver PD. I'm not optimistic that he will, I just hope he does.

It amazes me how some people think "rifles with scopes" are sniper rifles.

I think that comes from the media calling a 100 yd shot a "sniper attack".

 

[Gunsby_Blazen]

He will get a lawyer and everything will be taken care of. I dont see how the city has a case...
especially considering that the rifles were in cases and he was behaving like a rational citizen.

thats what I think....

 

[RoadkingLarry]

the secret service will break or bend a law or 2 if they think it serves their mission. they don't get do overs
in their place i would do similarly

That is actually a pretty disgusting point of view.. I think I'll go vomit a litle now.

The ends DO NOT justify the means.

This thread has become--to be polite--"disappointing".
