Joseph McVey?

[TigersEye]

McVey is charged with going armed in terror of the public, a misdemeanor.

What the heck kind of charge is that?

[al baby]

“missed him by that much” Thank god The President was not harmed

Please let Obama live to 125. If anything happens him he’ll be remembered as a hero rather than the zero he is.

"McVey is charged with going armed in terror of the public, a misdemeanor"

This charge sounds a little more serious then a misdemeanor.

[Cicero]

The suspect was nowhere near the president's plane.

This really is bizarre. A public parking lot, no where near the plane, and they arrest him for having what I presume is a legal gun, since they certainly would have said so if it wasn't.

McVey’s car had strobe lights like a police car might, but the suspect is not in law enforcement, said Smith.

They said he got out of the car and had a gun in full view at his side.

The president’s plane had taken off before the incident happened.

No crime here. NC allows open carry and CCW. Just because Zero was at the same airport is no crime.

This story leave a lot of unanswered questions. Are guns banned from the parking lot of this airport? Is it posted? Was this fellow waving this gun around? Was it holstered? Or could he have been simply securing it in his car before he went into the airport?

As for the flashing light "similar to a police light" on his car. A lot of people in my neck of the woods have them, some are emergency first responders others use their cars as "follow" cars for wide load trucks. I don't know what the law is in NC, but in my state you are permitted to have them as long as you have a valid reason.

More to this story.

McVey is charged with going armed in terror of the public,

Sounds like self defense to me...

[bigbob]

another McVey???

[Cheetahcat]

Let him die in Prison for treason!

[OneWingedShark]

Hm, About a year ago I got into a discussion with someone who was advocating a “mobile no-gun zone” around the President and other officials... I countered with a scenario much like this: some guy going about his business, legally armed, may suddenly become a criminal because the president passes ‘close’ by.

“McVey is charged with going armed in terror of the public, a misdemeanor.”
What kind of effed up BS charge is that?

[Delta 21]

Yep.

Imagine any LEO that would have let any person named “McVey” just walk while picking his nose and doing anything that we may be able to construe as potentially offensive to the ONE that isnt even here any more......said LEO would be crucified for letting the second McVey go and he shot-up the busload of nuns that Obama was changing the tire on......
