MYFOXNY EXCLUSIVE: Law enforcement sources say that boxing champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero was arrested Thursday morning on a weapons charge at JFK Airport.
Guerrero was arrested by Port Authority Police with a .40 caliber Smith and Wesson semi-automatic handgun.
He was attempting to check-in for a flight to Las Vegas at the time of his arrest. He remains in custody and was to be transferred to Queens central booking later in the day.

The big deal is he doesn't have a licence to carry the fire arm in New York ergo his possession of the firearm is illegal. Why/If L.A. allowed the gun to go through I do not know.So umm what's the big deal here? He followed procedures, the gun wasn't loaded and the its legal. But he's being charged with CRIMINAL possession?

Because he doesn't have a license in NY to carry a firearm. Maybe naive to the situation, he probably went to check in the gun and the counter person simply called the Police as simple protocol. Guerrero can't be THAT naive though.So umm what's the big deal here? He followed procedures, the gun wasn't loaded and the its legal. But he's being charged with CRIMINAL possession?

Posted from Boxingscene.com App for AndroidI realize this is Wiki, but the NY Penal code also clearly states the above paragraphOriginally posted by WikiNew York is a "may-issue" state, in that the individual licensing official (typically a local police chief or sheriff) has discretion to issue a license or permit to possess handguns, or carry a concealed firearm. The licensing authority may require the licensee go through firearms training and education, or under what conditions permit holder can possess handguns or carry a concealed weapon. Unlike other "may issue" states where permits are typically valid statewide regardless of the locality in which they are issued, New York State concealed carry permits are not automatically valid statewide, and some localities do not recognize permits issued from elsewhere in the state. Additionally, New York does not recognize concealed carry permits issued by any other state, and non-residents are generally forbidden from obtaining a New York State permit.
As for why LAX let it through, I'm sure they're unaware of state by state penal laws. I just see no reason why this man would need to travel with a gun. Hire a security guard if NY is too scary for youLast edited by JmH Reborn; 03-28-2013, 10:06 AM.Comment
