I wonder if he is going to jail for this felony? I hope he gets to experience his own law!

Do as I say, not as I do seems to be a popular mentality with people who push to disarm law abiding citizens in certain venues.
Such is the case with Dwayne Ferguson, a leader in the anti-violence organization Mad Dads. Ferguson was arrested last week on two felony charges stemming from the fact that he was carrying a loaded firearm at an elementary school.
Police initiated a several hour lockdown of the school following an anonymous report about a man carrying a gun on school property.
Ferguson does work as a security guard and has a permit to carry a gun. However, Ferguson is not permitted to carry a firearm on school property.
Ironically, Ferguson was part of a recent push to make carrying a firearm, even if you possess a carry permit, on to school grounds a felony (that charge was previously a misdemeanor.
According to the Buffalo News,
Ferguson, 52, told WGRZ-TV that he frequently carries the gun, for which he has a permit, and did not realize he had it on him when he went to the school as part of the mentoring program.
Those who have worked with him also said they believe it was an honest mistake.
“I’m sure Dwayne went into the school not thinking he had the gun on him,” said Rev. James E. Giles, a friend of Ferguson and president of Back to Basics Outreach Ministries. “We know this for a fact, that he called out to a Buffalo police lieutenant asking why the school was in lockdown, and that they were looking for a man with a gun.
@Baldimo,
Quote:did not realize he had it on him
People who don't realize they're carrying a gun probably shouldn't be carrying guns.
Or should be able to come up with more convincing lies.
@Baldimo,
B:I hope he gets to experience his own law!
But you think it too much for USA presidents to be held to account for the numerous laws they break, Baldimo?
Where is your consistency, you old law abider you?

Some months ago, there was a leftist politician or TV media
leader who gave a presentation in favor of gun control,
showing some un-lawful guns for him to possess in D.C.
He clearly violated D.C.'s law, in D.C.,
but
thay did not see fit to enforce the law against him.
Gun Safety Instructor Shoots Student In Ohio
08/12/13 05:58 PM ET EDT AP
LANCASTER, Ohio -- Police say an instructor at a central Ohio gun safety class has accidentally shot a student.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/19ZLcIt) reports 73-year-old Terry J. Dunlap Sr. was demonstrating a handgun at a training facility on Saturday when he fired a bullet that ricocheted off a desk and into the right arm of 26-year-old Michael Piemonte.
The student says the .38-caliber bullet hit him between his elbow and armpit. He says many of the students in the class were nurses who helped stabilize him before he was transported to a Columbus hospital.
Piemonte tells the newspaper it appears Dunlap didn't know the gun was loaded. Dunlap hasn't responded to requests for comment.
A police report lists the shooting as accidental.

5 accidentally shot at gun shows in North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana

Five people were wounded in accidents at gun shows in North Carolina, Ohio and Indiana on Saturday, according to authorities.

In Raleigh, N.C., authorities said three people were wounded when a loaded shotgun accidentally discharged at the Dixie Gun and Knife Show at the N.C. State Fairgrounds.
Officials say Gary Lynn Wilson, 36, was having his shotgun checked before entering the show when the incident happened. He was unzipping his 12-gauge shotgun's case when it accidentally fired birdshot pellets, hitting three people, The News & Observer in Raleigh reported. Wilson was planning on privately selling the gun at the show, according to NBC affiliate WNCN.
The three victims, Janet Hoover, Linwood Hester and Jake Alderman, were hit, respectively, in the right torso, left hand and right hand, WNCN reported. They were taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
Witness Daniel Peadan told WNCN he was about to enter the building, when he heard a loud pop: "The people right there at the door, a lot of them ran ... They scattered because it was chaotic."
"This was an accidental discharge," said Brian Long, a spokesman for the North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services, in a statement.
The show closed early Saturday because of the shooting, according to The News & Observer. When the show reopens Sunday private gun sales will not be permitted, but only sales by licensed dealers at the show are allowed, Long said. By Saturday evening, the event's website clearly stipulated: "No personal firearms are to be brought into the show."
The Wake County Sheriff's Department is investigating Saturday's incident, and it's not clear yet whether there are pending charges, according to Long.
In Medina, Ohio, an exhibitor at a local gun show was opening a box containing a gun when the weapon went off, striking his partner, who was sitting next to him, NBC station WKYC of Cleveland reported.
The victim suffered non-life threatening injuries in the arm and thigh and was taken to a hospital.
Police told WKYC the shooting was accidental, and a man who attended the show had sold that gun to the exhibitor.
In Indianapolis, state police said a 54-year-old man was loading his .45 caliber semi-automatic gun when he shot himself in the hand, The Associated Press reported. The victim, Emory L. Cozee, had been leaving the Indy 1500 Gun and Knife show at the state fairgrounds, officials told the AP. Loaded personal weapons are not permitted inside this show, according to the AP.
Cozee was hospitalized. Police told the AP no charges will be filed and the shooting was accidental.
These incidents all happened on the first "National Gun Appreciation Day," which was organized by Political Media, a Republican consulting firm.
In Raleigh, police say around 200 gun-rights supporters marched around the legislative building in downtown Raleigh on Saturday, The News & Observer reported.
Across the country Saturday, there were similar rallies by gun-rights advocates. In Brooksville, Fla., about 1,000 people gathered holding signs like "Stop the Gun Grabbers," Reuters reported. In Denver, just miles away from the scene of the July 2012 movie theater massacre, about 500 people were outside the state capitol rallying, according to Reuters.
The attack on an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 first-graders and six staffers dead in December has sparked a new debate over gun control. Last week, President Barack Obama proposed new gun controls to reduce violence.
Firearms expert Greg A. Danas told NBC News while it's up to a gun show owner to determine safety rules, he recommends measures like inspecting guns and ensuring firing pins are disabled.
"Even people with the best intentions, screw up, occasionally make mistakes," Danas said.

HOW MANY people were injured
in automobile accidents at about the same time?????
@OmSigDAVID,
David,
The number of people injured in auto accidents at gun shows during that same time period was zero. They don't allow people to bring cars into gun shows and it seems to work.
@parados,
You know what he is trying to say. The fact you want to be obtuse about it shows you can't have an honest debate on this subject.
Did you hear the latest about the, good for me but not for thee, CA politician that was arrested for trafficking guns?

Yea, I think he was running for Secretary of State of California
and trying to run guns to Russia and to the Moslems,
while preaching
anti-gun freedom in California.

Have your authoritarian friends ban
possession of cars, except for government,
and see how much good u can get from reduced traffic casualties.
( Possession of cars is not protected
by the Bill of Rights. )
David
@parados,
Wish I'd a thought of it first. Best laugh I've had today!
@OmSigDAVID,
Specifically no, but thats not the same as banning either or providing pretext for banning them. Don't you ever get lonely in that bunker by yourself?

Yea, I brought my guns into a car show.
That worked out OK too.

Well, the 2A specifically deprives government of jurisdiction of gun possession;
we take that together with "equal protection of the laws"
and with the "right to travel" that has been found by the USSC.
Note that the USSC has specifically held in
HELLER that the central core right
of the 2A was
self defense.
The 2A was
not written only for the benefit of the Saints & Angels of America.
Its for
EVERYONE (not including the mentally deranged).

Yes, I dont. Popularity has never meant much to me.

So the only honest debate is to compare gun accidents at gun shows to the total car accidents nationwide at gun shows and not at gun shows during that time period? You have a strange concept of honest debate Baldimo.
