Comments Thread For: Guerrero To Be Charged With Criminal Gun Possession

[greglory]

It's really not. The NYPD and FDNY are grossly underpaid. I'm not planning to be a cop, that would be last resort. I'm majoring in accounting, but don't want to be an accountant either. I'd love to join the Air Force or Navy.

Air Force or Navy with an accounting degree would make the world your oyster. Either of those jobs in another state aren't bad gigs either, that starting wage there is brutally low.

It's all over the place. On the FAQ of nyc.gov/NYPD, under what are the benefits it says "$34,970 Starting salary (including holiday pay, uniform pay and night differential)".

http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/html/faq/faq_police.shtml

Then on the actual NYPD website it says starting pay is $44,744 including top base pay, holiday pay, uniform allowance, etc.

Yea its def the first one, i have a few friends that just joined and they said its in the mid 30s so that sounds right.

TBF it does go up to $70k+ after 5 years.

Yea they start off bad but after a few years you're making way more. Plus the benefits you and you family receive from a govt job are huge

Tellin ya'll man...this ain't gonna go lightly for Guerrero. NY don't **** around with the gun laws.

He had the weapon registered in California, if that's what you're complaining about. It wasn't loaded, and he checked it in. He wasn't trying to smuggle it into NY.

A lot of us don't live in NY or really care about what goes on in NY. It really shouldn't come as a shock. Some of us aren't even from America.

Then you shouldn't respond with passion backed by ignorance. If you can honestly sit there and say I don't see what's wrong with taking a gun into an airport and you are not an officer of the law or a US marshall, in this current atmosphere, in these United States, I don't know how you're walking around free.

New York Criminal Possession of a Weapon at New York Airports

What is more troubling for these people is that often times they are properly checking the weapon at LaGuardia or JFK Airports in an approved case where the ammunition or bullets are not physically loaded in the gun. These people wrongfully believe that (a) they are permitted to have a firearm in New York because they are licensed in their home state and (b) because they are declaring or checking the firearm and were not stopped when it was brought to New York, they have not perpetrated any crime.

Not only are the above assumptions completely incorrect in the eyes of New York Penal Law Article 265, but the crime of New York Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree is punishable by a mandatory minimum of 3.5 years in prison even if you have no record at all.

One of the most common reactions individuals charged with CPW 2 have is that they had no idea it was a crime to bring their otherwise licensed gun into New York (ignorance of the law is no defense). Some argue that the gun never left the carrying case or the hotel room. Others mistakenly claim that since the bullets were not in the cylinder or chamber or that the clip or cartridge was not in the gun, the firearm is not loaded. Despite this logical assertion, New York law is clear. If the firearm is capable of being loaded, then the firearm is considered loaded. In other words, the ammunition in the carrying case with the firearm will likely be sufficient.

An arrest for New York Penal Law 265.03 is a terrifying experience, but often compounded when one is not from New York and they are at JFK or LaGuardia Airport ready to head home. Unfortunately, that person is now facing the grim reality that they will be processed in Queens Central Booking for up to 24 hours. To make matters worse, they are accused of committing a violent crime in New York where they may have been free to act in the same way without any legal troubles in their home state.

3.5 years?

Some misinformation on NYPD's official website then. Not a small difference either, that's a $10k difference in starting salary. From $34k to $44k.

I don't get why he didn't tell golden boy to give him security if he felt he needed the comfort of a gun in his vicinity.

[Foolkiller]

Bullcrap!!! Screw New York and their unconstitutional laws! Can't buy a 32 ounce drink, GTFOH. Great job Robert, now you will have the NRA backing you up and watching your fight along with Christians. "Why did he have a Gun?" Because we have the right to.

"The Ghost" for President!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow gun laws are a joke. Robert Guerrero did nothing wrong.

This is an outrage. I can't believe this.
