A U.S. Marine from Indiana, traveling in New York City in
September, stopped to declare his gun as he was entering the Empire State
Building. He was promptly arrested and
now faces trial for illegal carrying of a concealed weapon in New York City,
where it’s illegal; the gun was legally registered in Indiana. Ryan Jerome could face three and a half years
in prison if the case goes to trial and he is convicted of carrying the weapon against
New York State law.
COMMENTS:
Here’s a fact. I was traveling from Las Vegas to Santa
Barbara. As I changed planes at Los Angeles,
I realized that I had my pistol in my briefcase. I had already made it past security
checkpoints. This was an honest mistake
on my part; I had forgotten the gun was there.
I elected not to say anything and flew on to Santa Barbara without incident. Jerome thought he was legal and that he
should declare his gun as required before entering the Empire State Building. His was an honest mistake; he was no more a
criminal than I was. When common sense
cannot prevail because idiots rigidly apply ridiculous laws, we have
tyranny.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Now that Huntsman is out, who do you like? (Myrtle ~ Arlington, WA)
A. I endorsed Gingrich and stand by that. Gingrich is by far the best of the lot. That doesn’t mean he is my knight on a great
white horse, but he is the best of the lot.
As for Huntsman, the fact that he is endorsing Romney on the way out speaks
volumes to me about why I didn’t endorse him.
Q. Gingrich has been chastised for attacking Romney. Will that hurt him? (Marina ~ Sacramento, CA)
A. I don’t think anyone in the country really wants to hear
any more negative attack ads. He should stay
on the positive and differentiate himself from Romney and he will surge to a
win. Just because Obama and his cronies
believe in negative attack ads doesn’t mean that Americans like them. In fact, we’re sick and tired of all of the
B.S. We need to get down to the business
of running the nation, and in a positive manner for a change.
Q. I didn’t even know Russia had a mission going to Mars,
let alone that it had failed to leave orbit back in November and crashed into
the Pacific Ocean near Chile on Sunday. Why
wasn’t this covered, and doesn’t this just prove that Russia is way behind us in
space technology? (Bo ~ Bend, OR)
A. It wasn’t big news because we were in the middle of a
Congressional financial crisis and the failure of the “Super” Committee. As far as Russia’s space technology goes,
does it bother you to know that right now, they are the only source of
transport for our Americans aboard the Space Station?
