Wow.
http://www.vindy.com/news/2016/aug/23/judge-chides-ysu-football-players-for-fi/What an ignorant judge. Some quotes:
“I don’t know why young men think they need to have a gun,” Judge Kobly said. “This isn’t the wild west.”
She also was upset that he had a gun that could fire a lot of bullets in a short period of time.
“You’re a college student. You’re supposed to be better than that,” Judge Kobly said. “You’re not some street thug who walks around with a gun in his car.”This judge obviously is ignorant of firearms, made a ruling based on her misinformation and phobias, and whose "street thug" comments damn near border on racist.
The two players were guilty of negligent use of a firearm, and I do think the punishment is appropriate.
However....
A semiautomatic weapon (which these guys had) fires one shot with each trigger pull, not "a gun that could fire a lot of bullets in a short period of time." She is describing an automatic weapon, illegal without certain special permits that are rarely granted.
She doesn't know why they need to have a gun? Because it's a Constitutional right, and self-defense is a basic Human Right.
This woman is a sorry excuse for a judge. Just sayin.
