|
|
| Quote: | A tourist from Texas was arrested over the weekend on charges she was packing two loaded handguns at the Sept. 11 memorial in New York City, authorities said Monday.
According to a criminal complaint, Elizabeth Enderli was visiting the site Saturday when she informed a police officer she had the weapons in her backpack. She was charged with criminal possession of a weapon before being released Sunday.
She ended up spending a night in jail after asking where she could store the pistols — 9mm and .380-caliber semi-automatics —
| Quote: |
"Our husbands don't give us a hug and a kiss — they pat us down to make sure we're armed," said Aimey Richardson, a friend who made the trip with Enderli. "We're not allowed to go out without them." |

Packin in NYC
I believe the refrain that these types like to trot out is:
Just because you can do something doesn't meant you should do something.

| A stark reminder that freedom isn't exactly the same everywhere in the United States. |

Exactly. You can walk into a retail store here in Washington and purchase a marijuana joint. Try that in other parts of the country, and you can end up in prison.

| I understand the viewpoint of people who want to carry guns, but why would you carry two of them in a backpack? So if something happens, she has to pull a pistol out of a backpack? Well, at least she has one for the left hand. |

Yeah. They occasionally try for a reciprocity bill in Congress (so you could carry much the same as you can drive anywhere in the US, even though you only have a CA drivers license), but the Second Amendment is currently out of fashion, so it doesn't get the protection an enumerated right deserves. |

If I get arrested my defense will be, "But Aussieuede told me to try it!" |

That's a surprisingly effective defense in 34 states & 19 countries.
