Some more to the story.....he owns a gun shop near me called High Ground Tactical:
Been going through the guy’s FB pictures.
He JUST lost his daughter to a heroin OD about 4 months ago. Looks like there’s some meat to this story of him buggin’ over to Queens. One news story says this:
One of the suspects has been identified as 50-year-old John Cramsey, a Pennsylvania gun store owner who has made it his mission to rescue drug addicts after his daughter overdosed on heroin on February 21.
According to NBC New York one of the suspects told investigators they were driving to Queens to try to save a heroin-addicted friend who was being held against her will. Police said they were looking for the woman in Queens, the news station reports. Cramsey had posted on Facebook early Tuesday morning about his planned mission to save a girl from a Brooklyn hotel.
Police said they seized a shotgun, an AR-15 style rifle and handguns, along with goggles, tactical gear, ammunition and knives. An ammo-box labelled “Shoot your local heroin dealer” and a bag with the label “firearms instructor” were also in the vehicle, photos released by the Port Authority show. Other tactical gear had the word “police” written on it. One of the gun magazines seized had the word “America” on it and another said “United We Stand.”

Wow. Good for the dad, although if one isn’t careful, this is how you can end up (arrested and probably in big trouble). I hope they can find the person he was trying to rescue.
I wonder if there is more to them being stopped. Not due to the crack in the windshield, but perhaps his upset wife calling 911 after begging him not to go and do this on his own.
Sounds like Taxi Driver.
