Mandatory sentences aren't really mandatory? That is the equivalent to saying warm water is not warm.

im saying if its in airport might be a federal crime, federal crime trumps state, you dont get state charge and federal charge for the same crime? he was attemping to cross a gun over state border that federal.

I don't understand how he could not have known he couldn't take the gun to New York especially in an airport. For those who think this isn't a big deal, New York doesn't play around with guns especially in light of Sandy Hook. Plaxico Burress (at the time a member of the SB winning NY Giants) and Lil Wayne (a bigger celebrity than Guerrero), both did serious time in New York for carrying guns. The fact that he has a license in CA will not make a difference... He's doing time.

I thought you were allowed to bear arms in America?

You are, but only if the bear was killed in season.

Guerrero is in deep sh^%#. How he didn't know this or how someone didn't tell him about this is beyond me.

I guess God did not want him to humble Mayweather. LOL.

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.

Sources say that Guerrero went to the Delta ticket counter in Terminal 2 and declared the gun to the ticket agent. As required by law, the agent called the Port Authority Police.

Sources say that Guerrero's gun is legally registered in the state of California but he is not licensed to carry the weapon in New York. The gun was not loaded at the time of his arrest.

Guerrero is being charged with criminal possession of a weapon, according to sources. It's not clear yet what other charges he may face once the case is turned over to the Queens District Attorney.

Guerrero is scheduled to fight Floyd Mayweather on May 4, 2013 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for Mayweather's WBC Welterweight title.

Guerrero's had previously given up a title to care for his wife, Casey, after she was diagnosed with leukemia. The couple talked about their cancer fight in a recent appearance on The 700 Club.

He went and told them he had the gun and he gets arrested? It wasn't even loaded. Dude gets a slap on the wrist. Most likely a fine.

NY gun laws are tough as hell...my friend just did 3 years upstate for a gun charge....they may offer you 2 but hey that's a long ass time too...

Plaxico did 2 years I believe...

He got arrested for criminal possession of a gun, not trying to cross state lines with a gun
