bzane Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 A natural mistake. He looked around at LaGuardia, and thought he was at a team meeting of the Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A carry concealed weapon would lile you forgetting yoy had your wallet in your pocket or your cell phone. Theyre carried everywhere And there is nothing that says he tried to board a plane with it. He could have been caught with it parking his car for all we know. Maybe security saw hand gun in his car when he pulled into parking garage and asked to see his permit. Or maybe he tried checking it into the airline like most people would with a gun and they checked his permit to confirm it was legal. Every article ive read on matter said it was unclear if he was trying to board the plane with it. With all due respect, "forgetting" about a concealed weapon is nothing like forgetting about your wallet imo. But that is fair, we dont know the specifics. But in the unfortunate world we live in today, even showing up to an airport is not very intelligent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Switzer did it when he was the HC of the Cowboys. Loaded revolver that was unregistered if i recall. He got a fine and probation.

Nothing more because he is a star and nothing less because he is a star. That's really all I am saying. The actions, regardless of circumstances, imo, involve a lack of common sense. But we all make stupid mistakes and the one that says they dont probably makes even more of them. I don't want to see the guys career ruined either over something that more than likely had no malicious intent at all. I'd feel that way about the average joe too. However if his career were ruined, he cant blame anyone but himself. Having said all of that. My hope is that he takes this as a life lesson. Also...its the Cowboys...

Raves Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 7 hours ago, Ragnarok said: Williams, who was drafted No. 3 overall by the Jets in 2019, had a permit for the weapon, but it was licensed in Alabama, the spokesperson said. Under New York law, it is generally only legal to carry a concealed weapon if it has a New York license. It is unclear if he is being accused of trying to take the gun on the plane. if I had to guess, he basically just didn't have it registered in the right state. Probably have to surrender the weapon and a fine. Maybe not even probation. Not worried anymore. Depending on if it was loaded or not might be another issue as well. I just looked up the Plaxico situation and carrying a loaded firearm in NY without a NY registration has mandatory jail time unless the laws been changed.

Broncofan Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I imagine this is not what the Jets had in mind when they said Quinnen was going to be more of a threat in 2020. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolsurebro Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) I always forget to leave my gun at home before I board flights... /s Dingus.

Sllim Pickens Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Was Plaxico's sentence more because the gun went off or was it just because he had the gun? If it was just for having the gun, I wouldnt be shocked to see Williams get a similar sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Not as bad as I thought it would be from the headlines I saw last night. Yeah, pretty stupid trying to board an airplane carrying a gun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronjon1990 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Might pay a fine and get a suspension at the very worst. That being said, what is it with NFL players and guns at airports? This seems to he a recurring theme. It's really not rocket science. Anyone remember the dude who called in a bomb threat at LAX? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
