why does a trained boxer carry a gun? Can't he just rely on his hands?



First thing that popped into my mind. I can't imagine there are too many Robert Guererro stalkers out there that he feels his life is in jeopardy around every corner he approaches. This seems kinda retarded to me.


^^^ I hope both these guys are trolling, if not they have landed squarely into tard territory

The DA's talking tough:

"Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown today announced that current WBC welterweight champion Robert Guerrero has been arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport and charged with illegally traveling with an unloaded pistol and three unloaded high capacity bullet magazines. The weapon and 15-bullet clips were discovered during a routine pre-flight check-in this morning.

District Attorney Brown said, “I hope that Mr. Guerrero fights better than he thinks. For anyone who hasn’t gotten the message, let me be crystal clear. You cannot bring an unlicensed weapon – loaded or unloaded – into this county or this city. And if you do you will be arrested and face felony charges.”

The District Attorney continued, “Earlier this year, New York State enacted the nation’s toughest gun restrictions – the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013 (NY SAFE ACT). One provision of that law is that the penalty for possessing an unloaded firearm is raised from being a Class A misdemeanor to being a Class E felony. It is therefore more important than ever that if a passenger chooses to travel with a weapon, they should first acquaint themselves with the weapon laws of the jurisdiction that they are visiting and comply with any and all legal requirements. Otherwise, they may find themselves being arrested and charged with a felony – as is what occurred in this case.”"

What an idiot. Didn't he know about the guy on the Giants that did a year in jail for shooting himself in the leg at a club?

He had no idea of the NY gun laws? That's the only explanation I can think of for not just, say, getting his boarding pass from the counter and leaving the airport however far he has to go to safely ditch his gun. I mean, he gave it up at the ticket counter.

He was talking about Jesus yesterday and carrying his gun today!! Phone Post


So I guess it's pretty safe to say he's a Republican?

No, but it's safe to say you're a moron.

"Guerrero, who was being filmed by a crew from the Showtime network, said the “media knows he is a hunter and requested he bring the weapon for a photo op,” said a police report.

A Showtime crew showed up today at Queens Criminal Court for Guerrero’s expected arraignment."

Sounds like this prick is trying to get his 5 min's by taking down a celeb.

Dude obviously was ignorant of New York's laws. Obviously ignorance of the law is not a defense. But it appears he was in good faith trying to comply with normal security regulations by making the ticketing agent aware he was traveling for buisness with a gun. He is clearly a licenced gun carrier in other states and appeared to be moving interstate on many trips due to a PR campaign for the fight.

I hope a federal judge shuts this bullshit down and at least makes New York grant some sort of reciprocity to travelers. IMO their laws already infringe on the 2nd amendment and should be struck down.

"Golden Boy Promotions chief executive Richard Schaefer, who is promoting the Mayweather-Guerrero fight, told ESPN.com that, despite the charges, the fight will go on as planned. He said he spoke to Guerrero on Thursday afternoon and that he was on his way back to Las Vegas to resume training. Schaefer said Guerrero's next court appearance won't be until May 14."

LOL at NYC. Fuck that shit hole...

damn, this sucks!

"Early this morning Six-Time and Four Division World Champion Robert Guerrero was checking in his luggage at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, bound for Las Vegas, and, as he was doing so, made sure to advise the authorities that they needed to be aware that he had a firearm, which was unloaded and in a locked safe box with his luggage to be checked. Guerrero was carrying no ammunition and was within his legal right to possess such firearm in the state in which he resides. He was then arrested. At an arraignment held before the New York State Supreme Court for Queens County, the court, after hearing the pertinent facts of the case, released Guerrero on his own recognizance. The next hearing in this matter is scheduled for after Robert's May 4 fight against Eight-Time and Five-Division World Champion Floyd "Money" Mayweather.

We are very pleased Robert Guerrero was released on his own recognizance this afternoon in the wake of this incident and that he is on his way back to Las Vegas to continue training for his highly anticipated May 4 bout against Mayweather."

You were serious? Facepalm

If someone was attacked by multiple people or with weapons, what in the fuck are his hands going to do for him? A whole lot of nothing.

You being Canadian has nothing to do with your lack of common sense. And what the fuck does a civil war have to do with anything?

NY's stupidity strikes again. Phone Post 3.0

People have to realize, if you have a license to carry in another state, that does NOT give you the right to carry in NYS and especially not NYC!! Believe it or not this happens quite often at NYC airports because clueless people think that because they have a pistol permit from another state it is then valid in NYS! ....this DA is not grandstanding, and the cops have no discretion!

A civil war was the first thing that came to mind when you indicated that it would be ridiculous for a professional boxer might walk around without a gun. I thought, 'oh shit.........something big must be going down in the US, because according to this texdeuce guy it is retarded to think you might be fine without a gun in your possession while conducting your day to day activities.' However, I now I realize you are just a fear mongerer who feels like he must approach every corner as if there is a band of violent hoodlums waiting for him on the other side. I feel bad for ya dude, that is a pretty shitty way to go through life.



For the record, my being Canadian has much to do with my abundance of common sense.

I was only addressing the statement that "using your hands" would be good enough. Which it often times wouldn't. They aren't even comparable.

I don't give a fuck if someone carries a gun or not. If you do great if not great.

Where did I say I carry my gun everywhere and live in constant fear? Lol you are the dumbass talking about civil war and fear mongering. You being Canadian has nothing to do with anything. Phone Post 3.0

Any time I have ever been in a conflict with someone that got violent, using my hands was enough. I won some and I lost some, but at 43 years old I have never been in a position where I needed, or felt I needed a gun. I am not anti gun, and I am not pro gun, but it still seems retarded to me that Guererro feels he needs to have one in his possession. 

 

My being Canadian is definitely relevant because we have a completely different outlook on this issue up here. I don't know one single person that carries a gun around for protection, and I don't beleve I ever have. I am deep in prime hunting territory so there are a lot of people around me who own rifles, but I never see them. 

I grew up in Toronto and spent several years on the edge of Regent Park, Canada's worst community, and it never even occurred to my that I might want to carry a gun. Maybe I am reckless, I don't know, but I'm still here and relatively unscathed. I kinda wish you were here too, then I could give you a little slap in the head for using words like "tard" and "dumbass", and you could Travon Martin me in the name of self defense.

Yes because everyone that gets in a fight shoots the other person. Why do you think Trayvon was such big news? Nice try.

If someone slapped me I'd just have to beat their ass.

And just because you don't want to carry a gun or you haven't felt threatened means nobody should carry a gun? LOL that is some wonderful logic there.

How many people that have been shot and killed were wishing they had a gun at that point? But nah you are tough and can throw bolos, why should anyone else have a gun for defense?

Guns are used thousands of times a year in self defense. But because "you are still here" others shouldn't carry if they so wish?

Yeah "tard" is a pretty accurate description of you at this point.

I'm gonna give you a vote up just to get out of my hair. Another place, another time perhaps.
