Chicago Anti-gun politician arrested

[fastk9dad]

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Trotter was arrested at a security checkpoint early this morning. A candidate for the 2nd Congressional District seat vacated recently by Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., Trotter had a .25-caliber Beretta semiautomatic pistol in his bag. The Chicago Tribune said Trotter told police he worked late last night as a security guard and didn’t realize the pistol was in his bag.

“Trotter is a South Side Democrat and he was a leader in the move to ban so-called ‘assault weapons’ during his first term as a state representative,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “A man who favored banning firearms for thousands of his fellow Illinois residents shouldn’t even have a gun, much less be packing one illegally into an airport.”

No way. Say it aint so! Did he cry 'racism' or porport to be from the 'special class' of 'excluded from the law' peoples?

You know, once a criminal, which he is, always a criminal.... Just sayin!

Well, it's not like it was a REAL weapon, it was just a .25.

Hypocritical politician. Weird.

Hm. A liberty-hater who carries himself (when working). "Do as I say, not as I do ... and no guns for y'all, just me and mine, if I can get my way with things." Typical.

Q: How do you know when a politician is lying?

A: Their lips are moving

I can imagine the Chicago political machine already "encouraging" a judge to look the other way.

I bet he gets off with either a misdemeanor and suspended sentence, or the charges will get dropped.

He is underpowered compared to the average gang bangers in his hood. That's discrimination!

Oh this is good. So, so very good. And working as a security guard? Really? And so I'm sure that he's a security guard, with a guard card and a firearms permit to carry that .25 cal. while on duty right? Can't wait until they confirm all of this. Can't wait to see his duty holster.

If I was a security guard... I'd want a .25 for my weapon!

[high pockets]

Are security guards even permitted to carry in Chicago?

[Mike1956]

With his choice of carry piece, he has displayed a firearms expertise typical of anti-gunners everywhere.

Why a .25? Because they don't make a .26!
