You don't have to register a handgun in Louisiana or Alabama. Or Tennessee for that matter.

Well that changes everything then. Is Cam an Uber driver? I'll call him up right now. Maybe he can babysit my children too.

And registered or not, Louisina does require a permit to carry. What are the odds Cam has one? Or anyone in the car?

As I've said before, there is no allegation that he stole the gun or knew it was stolen. As such, by law, he had a gun.

And there was no suggestion that they were high. Possession does not equal impairment. None of the cops' affidavits said that they appeared impaired, and if they were field tested they must have passed.



Agreed. It's the equivalent of randomly firing a gun in a neighborhood. You may not intend to shoot anyone, but you are putting everyone in the area at risk.

Why didn't Cam do with his gun what the other kid did? I'll tell you why. He knew it was stolen and hoped it would not be discovered.

He obviously could have saved himself some trouble by registering the gun (or attempting to, since he couldn't have actually done so). But it doesn't change the fact that he had no requirement to do so.

I can think of many reasons. I can't confirm any of them because I wasn't there. But a licensed carrier was just killed by a cop because he reached for something, so perhaps discretion played into it.

2nd string, don't want.

Make an example of him and claim moral high ground.

The article did mention he was in Sabans doghouse for being either out of shape or overweight -- idk who bails out the Alabama players maybe Bamawriter knows -- for all I know its a big shot booster thats also an attorney

Don't really care. If he blew over a .08 then he put a bunch of people at risk. Whether or not Saban or the authorities do anything won't change my opinion. If it were up to me Geno Smith wouldn't be playing for Bama for the exact same reason. Driving drunk is BS.

Hilarious. Last week, you were completely opposite. Doesn't the school have a student handbook with rules regarding both situations?

The two situations are not the same. One put other people at risk, the other did not.

Alphonse Taylor of Alabama Crimson Tide arrested on DUI charge

"...started all 15 games at right guard for the Crimson Tide during the 2015 national championship season. He was named a preseason second-team All-SEC pick last week."

"...was already in murky standing before the incident, having spent much of spring practice working with the second-team offense. Saban said Taylor's demotion was because he needed to lose weight and get in better shape."

Does that mean the boosters take the car back?

Both put people at risk. One with a vehicle and booze. The other with a firearm and pot. I wouldn't feel safe with either.

How was anyone at risk with the firearm and pot? Even ignoring the significant difference between impairment via weed vs impairment via alcohol, the guys were not accused of being high.

C'mon BW. Do any of us have to explain why it would be bad idea to hang out with someone who is either dumb enough to buy a stolen gun or is so stupid that he bought a gun from what could only be on the black market?

That speaks to your character by defending this loser as if he is a victim who did no wrong. I think you are better than that TBH

Oh, so because one makes one bad decision in having weed and a firearm in his car, he will inevitably make the bad decision to shoot someone.

So we've reached the world of Minority Report, and we are going to accuse people of future crime.

He has a greater chance to shoot someone than someone without a stolen gun. And again, his decision making is obviously flawed.
Yes, he's a risk.

So do you think Robinson was more likely to shoot someone than Jones, because Robinson's gun turned out to be stolen while Jones' was lawfully his?
