Quiet Observer Posted July 22, 2021 at 09:58 PM Share Posted July 22, 2021 at 09:58 PM I did not see any mention of whether he had a CCL. I do not believe that this episode indicates a problem for us who have CCLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyP Posted July 22, 2021 at 10:22 PM Share Posted July 22, 2021 at 10:22 PM I think this tale of woe DOES indicate a potential problem if your companion ODs on coke while having an unsecured firearm and cocaine in yer car? So.... word to the wise - LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euler Posted July 22, 2021 at 10:31 PM Share Posted July 22, 2021 at 10:31 PM I'll assume the Rivers Casino is not on Indian land, so state law applies. The three issues, which aren't explained well, are whether he had a CCL, whether the firearm was visible from outside the car, and whether he was actually under the influence. Carrying and concealing a firearm in a gaming facility is moot if he has a CCL and if the firearm was not visible from outside the car. Saying the emergency workers found the gun when they entered the car implies it wasn't visible from outside, but it's not definitive. Carrying and concealing a firearm while under the influence could be a problem if he actually was intoxicated. The smart thing would have been to unload the firearm and enclose it if he was intoxicated, but he was probably understandably preoccupied with the apparently imminent death of his friend. The parking lot should have been a safe harbor, but there are still ways to screw up. We just don't know if he did or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted July 22, 2021 at 10:59 PM Share Posted July 22, 2021 at 10:59 PM Any number of ways for this but I’ll try....lolHe called the medical personal on site?They showed up from another call and responded to a person non responsive?They asked him who or where the person was? If they then entered the car to assist a OD and during that entry the firearm was seen in plain sight, has no bearing on if they could see it from the outside. I’m almost certain even without it being said in the article that they were not looking for a firearm while assisting the OD. Just one mans opinion. Being a dumba$$ with or without a CCL in any parking lot having safe harbor is still being a dumba$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
