Name is Santos Zamora, according to the linked story. Pic is labeled same also.
Thanks. It was not included earlier in story...They updated it.
Mohammad probably changed his name on his way up through Mexico and bought fake ID there, too.
Np. Interesting story, too, btw.
No way to know for sure, unless we make folks carry their DNA fingerprint everywhere they go. Yikes!
WOW just WOW
In many states nothing described here is a crime.
Sometimes a pressure cooker is just a pressure cooker.
On the flip side, its possible those involved are from an ethnic group that tends to be more splodey than others. Which seems likely given the complete lack of commentary on that.
He had an AR 15 and a pressure cooker. Now if he had 32 ounces of soda for which he paid no tax on... then we would have something here. /s
No where does it say the pistol was on his person or that the rifle was improperly secured in the vehicle.
L
Assault style must have bayonet or grenade launcher attached.
Otherwise it’s just a semi-auto rifle.
“Doesnt everyone ride around with an AR15 and a pressure cooker in their trunk”
Not unusual at all in Wisconsin. Their mistake was being in criminalannoy.
“Im sorry, where is the crime?”
Its illannoy..,they will think of something.
Cook county and Chicago. I believe state law may allow transportation through the city/County, but then he wasn't passing through, rather to a destination. Then there's his lack of an FOID, a state violation, felony for the handgun. He can argue he was passing through under federal law, but he clearly had a destination. Most Wisconsin gunowners know this.
And then there's the dirty pressure cooker.
“Wait, this has to be #FakeNews. Everyone knows there are VERY STRICT GUN laws in Chitcago”
Chicago cops are notorious for making up laws on the fly.Oh you will eventually skate but good luck on getting your guns back.
“They were carrying without a CC permit...If no permit. Should have had any firearms field dressed, locked in trunk, with any ammo locked separately away from firearms and in trunk.
Given the history with pressure cookers at marathons and fact that we just had a mass shooting, these people were either idiots, up to no good, or both.”
More like just naive as to how rotten illannoy is.
My grandma used to but the cooker usually contained a pot roast........
Note the first words of your link, As long as you have a FOID* card, you can have your gun in your car.... Being a Wisconsin resident, he doesn't have one so he'd have to rely on the federal through state transportation exemption. Good luck with that. I'd go with #2 or #3 of your example. Not accessible is vague other than if locked in the trunk. And remember these things are a function of local police and prosecutor, and are defenses he'll raise at his own expense.
“I go into the Peoples Republic of Illinois as little as possible, but when I do I leave my firearms at home. I dont have an Illinois FOID card, and I dont want to find out the hard/expensive way that I needed one”
Very wise of you. But you dont need FOID as a non resident ...just keep in a case unloaded.Cops being cops there is no guarantee you won’t be hassled no matter what.
Doubt local law enforcement will look at it that way. Remember, he's not an Illinois resident thus has no FOID opening up a new array of charges, including felony charges for the handgun even if it was unloaded in the trunk. Heck, no handgun, no AR15, just handgun ammunition in the trunk could be a felony.
“In IL, you can CC with a CC permit. If they had a permit, they could have a loaded weapon in front seat...If they dont, they should have followed local and state laws. Which I stated as locked, field stripped, with ammo locked separately in the trunk.”
illannoy has no reciprocity...treats everyone like shit equally.
