babulator Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Even if he had a NY permit he would not be allowed to carry it at Laguardia. You need an additional and special permit to carry inside of the NYC limits. It's almost impossible to get one if you're not law enforcement or a security employee that also resides within city limits.

Not impossible to get a NYC carry permit if you're politically connected or wealthy enough to grease the skids. Everybody else has their applications pushed to the bottom of the pile or denied. 1

This will cause him issues- hopefully nothing too serious. 2- We got the better DT in the draft. That was clear in play, but this drives that home some. 3- Anything that makes the Jets look like more of a pile of ***** is good for me! I agree with all your points. I do feel bad for Williams because he seems like a good guy. But I definitely don’t feel bad for the Jets.

They're so screwed up at times it's hard to imagine that anything worse could happen and then right on queue they crash and burn on something else. They are better than reality TV.

Let alone an American airport. He is lucky to be arrested in the States and not Mexico. What a fool this guy is, he should be required to wear a court jesters hat and a sign that says FOOL on it for a year straight after this is settled. Edited March 7, 2020 by Don Otreply
atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 This sounds like a young guy not understanding the law for New York State. Yes, it is his responsibility, but the fact he has the proper permit for Alabama indicates someone willing to follow laws.

It is my duty to know the laws of each state. You cannot legally posses in NYC without written consent by NYPD. I have family on Long Island. I could carry to LI from my county with my weapon stored the way it is explained in the first two paragraphs of the article without consent but can be arrested for it. If I dont get consent first I do not carry "through" NYC. That said, I also have a Utah permit that gives me lefal right to carry 42 states the time. That has changed in the last 9 years since I got it. For instance Pennsylvania no longer accepts the Utah Permit. But I can in Delaware. So, I can travel under US law through Pennsylvania without overniting to go to Delaware with the proper transportation requirements in the first two paragraphs. NYS does not recognise any other states carry permits so the Alabama permit does not hold give him permission in NYS and if he did not get permission in NYC he is screwed. Who did you sell your soul to to get a NYS carry permit? A major barrier to me wanting to come up and visit family is that my VA permit isn’t worth jack anywhere north of Richmond. but yeah- there are a lot of hoops to jump through... pretty much the easiest rule to remember is no airports unless you’re checking it, have the TSA papers, and have it locked down. From what’s been reported that doesn’t sound like his situation (not that it matters as he’s surely not allowed to have it in NYS/NYC) 1
Royale with Cheese Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 He was headed to Mexicdo with a gun? Does he work for Saul Goodman?

I know it sounds whacked but a fair number of people store their gun in their luggage at their home. They pack for a trip and forget the damn gun is in there.

Just Joshin' Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Gun laws need to be normalized across the country but still stupid for him to do this. Not sure if there are mandatory penalties in NYS. In NJ, there are no options from the mandatory jail time. I was always afraid I would forget and take my legal gun from NY into NJ (driving) and it would be found. Unfortunate for him but I do not feel bad for the impact on the Jets.

If by normalized, you mean eradicated, we agree. but that’s probably a chat for the PPP. [mod edit: definitely a chat for the PPP. Thnx!] 1

Previous trip was to Wyoming.... found the knife 3 months later while unpacking my carry on duffle in the Bahamas. How they missed a 5” fixed blade in the x-ray I’ll never know.
