Caller tip over alleged loaded handgun on campus led to MCC student's arrest

ManualF150 · Mar 2, 2023

I know a few folks that work at colleges/universities, and they know there are a handful of students that are potentially packing heat because of the current conditions.

My stance on it, if they aren't bothering anyone and what not, just leave it alone. Obviously if they aren't threatening or having having criminal intent, you just leave it alone. Let them carry.

Right now there are 11 states now going on 12 that are allowing CCW on college campuses. It's a smart move. That number will grow for sure.

I also believe that colleges (especially state/county ran) should be offering self defense PE style classes and they should incorporate safe firearm handling as well as going to the range to shoot a couple times (field trips).

But we all know that won't happen in NYS...

The issue isn't so much with the guy carrying a gun for protection (which some campuses allow, but most across country do not). The problem is that the guy had a stolen handgun. In any state that is a serious crime. Unfortunately this story cannot be used to justify a mans actions for simple defense purposes.

The stolen piece is a no-no. If it was his that he legally bought in another state, or had a NYS pistol permit, this could be an interesting case.

I have no problem with the stolen pistol part, as long as he wasnt the one who stole it. I am sure it was more a situation of he wanted protection for whatever means and obtained a pistol from a "unlicensed seller" instead of jumping through all the bullshit this state wants you to. Things that would have not been that much of a newsworthy story in the bulk majority of the rest of the country.

Would he have had a legal pistol if not for all the obstacles in NY? Have NY laws created the conditions for a black market in order to survive?

I am sure of it. Not disagreeing I am all for black market lol. I (may) know people who (may) have handguns with no permit. They arent considered stolen and they sure know better than to carry them with no permit.

Carrying a stolen gun, plus he struggles with the school cop when he's found out.... not the sharpest tack on the board.

I wonder how the woman that blew him in knew about the gun.

Loose lips sinks ships more than likely.

if you could just walk into the gun store and buy one and walk out without filling out any paper work or giving up your personal information

we wouldn't have this huge black market problem of stolen guns .
