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.

yeah I dont know the NYC laws so who knows, I know that how it would have played out, out here.

Naw i think the fight is fine, he gonna have a bail and can be out on bail.

and pre trail probation cant stop him from doing his day job so going to LV shouldent be an issue either.

Yeah, he can bail out. But NY might want to make Guerrero an example and prevent him from fighting in Vegas. The environment in NY over gun control is very heated and political.

Without knowing Guerrero might be used as a pawn for different political parties and organizations.

That wasn't very bright of him. With that said, I don't think they will put it right to him. He tried to follow proper procedure. He'll just get fined.

[twosweethooks]

I highly doubt it, NY does not show leniency with gun possession. Bloomberg, out mayor, is in a fight with the NRA right now and wont let people go with just fines for guns. Its probably better to kill someone in NYC then be caught with a gun, its super serious here
