Dennis Farina Arrested At LAX
- Thread starter The Lady Eve
- Start date
I heard on the news this morning that the said weapon was found to be unregistered, bumping this up from a misdemeanor to a felony.
Where did I say I would have a problem with that? The only time I have a problem with someone having a gun is when no one else is allowed to.
If he was carrying a concealed (and loaded!) weapon without a license/permit, then yes, he did do something wrong.The man did nothing wrong.
I carry a concealed, loaded pistol on my person at all times legal. I have a permit.
I shouldn't have to have a permit, and it should always be legal.
I feel the man did no wrong.
Regardless of your feelings, he broke the law. Period. It doesn't matter what anyone feels. This isn't third grade.
He broke the law. He tried to take a loaded weapon on a plane.
It's not like this law is a surprise to ANYONE. It's been there for years. Hell, everyone knows you can't take WATER through security any more.
Ignorance, feelings aside, he broke the law. And as I recall breaking the law is wrong. That's why it comes with punishment.
Was he taken in to the 27th precinct?
In this instance, no one else is allowed to have one, either. You're saying you don't have a problem with him having one, so trying to figure out where the line is for you, I suppose...
I have a big problem with voluntary compliance no gun rules. Also known as "Only law abiding citizens leave their guns."
I have a smaller problem with the ban on aircraft - at least they screen EVERYONE so the playing field is level.
Although... hmmm, let me find a post I made on another board about a communication I sent to TSA:
More from the LA Times today:
Los Angeles International Airport police took no chances Sunday with the former "Law and Order" actor, who was teased for his poor shooting skills during his earlier career as a Chicago police officer.
(snip)
LAX police run into this problem--of passengers forgetting they have guns in their carry-on luggage--regularly, Holcomb said. Most of the roughly 10 incidents a month involve police officers traveling as civilians.
"People don't get it," Holcomb said. "When you go to an airport, the only people that can carry a gun are federal agents."

Man. Gun owners who show they are not responsible...ie, forget they have a gun on them...are just ridiculous. Throw the book at them.
You don't.How do you forget you're carrying a gun?
That said, when I fly I am always freaked out that I will forget my gun in my bag. I check it about 27,000 times.
I just know I'm going to regret this...You don't.How do you forget you're carrying a gun?

Please don't take this as condescending or insulting, as it is not meant to be. I'm just going to ask because I'm curious.
Why do you carry a gun around with you?
I ask because in the UK, we don't seem to have the same attitude to guns. Over here they are pretty much reviled by everyone as horrible killing things.
To carry an item around, that is designed entirely to kill another human being, with such pride just seems immensely alien to me.
Again, not meaning to demean your opinion in any way, would just like to here your perspective if you wish to share it.
I don't carry a gun with me on a plane, nor do I feel the need to. I said I think everyone should be ALLOWED to though.I just know I'm going to regret this...You don't.How do you forget you're carrying a gun?

Why do you feel the need to carry a gun with you on a plane?
Read here. Then reread it.
If you have any questions at that point about my attitude towards carying a "weapon designed to kill" reread the last page 5 times.

Why was he leaving anyway? Farina loves LA, "They say the fucking smog is the fucking reason you have such beautiful fucking sunsets."
How do you forget you're carrying a gun?
To play devil's advocate, you can forget there's supposed to be something wrong with carrying a gun. The man's a former cop, he probably gives no more thought to the gun he's carrying than to the tie he's wearing.
Why is that playing devil's advocate? I have a loaded gun with 13 rounds on my right hip, and 2 mags with 24 rounds on my left hip.How do you forget you're carrying a gun?

I FAIL to see what's wrong with that!

Are you expecting to be in a shoot out everywhere you go?
