A Washington state senator was arrested at the airport in Hong Kong and charged with possession of an unregistered firearm, his office said.
Sen. Jeff Wilson, R-Longview, was detained at Hong Kong International Airport on Friday night after he found a pistol in his carry-on bag and reported it to customs officials.
He was released on bail Sunday and faces a hearing Oct. 30.
“I’m a responsible gun owner!” say every irresponsible gun owners.
Fuck the USA and its constitution, it even becomes an issue the next country over because idiots get their firearms stolen and they make their way to Canada so gang members can shoot each other and kill bystanders at the same time.
I used to work at a place where a guy would bring his guns in his truck to work every day.
To work in sales in an office in an industrial estate.
They were locked in that metal case in the back of his Ram, but if you were robbing a truck isn’t that the first place you’d look? I also am willing to bet they weren’t disassembled, cased, ammo separate either.
I’m older than most of y’all, 70. In high school, it was not unusual to have the student parking lot filled with pickup trucks…most of which had shot guns on gun racks hanging on the back window.
It’s so weird to think about that now, how very normal it seemed at the time.
The big difference being about 5 billion more people on the planet since then and now.
100% what you break into. Its exposed, and the exact place most people keep expensive tools and stupid people keep guns.
A guy I worked with had a handgun with permits and stored in his car. We made torpedo parts for the navy. HR found out and sent an email about weapons on the premises. Hehe
I’m sorry but you cannot blame the US for gun crimes in CA, that’s absurd.
Pretty much all guns used for crimes in Canada illegally made their way to Canada from the USA, that’s just a fact.
