EXCLUSIVE: Man Arrested For Allegedly Shooting Realistic Toy Gun With Kids In Queens Park
CBS New York ^ | May 8, 2013 | Dave Carlin

Posted on 05/09/2013 8:22:38 AM PDT by ConservativeInPA

As CBS 2’s Dave Carlin reported, Jack Pawlowski was led out of his Queens home in handcuffs Wednesday, with his stunned wife and three young kids looking on. He said nothing as detectives put him into a squad car.

. . .

Pawlowski told CBS 2 he took a toy gun, and two of his kids, around the corner to Ditmars Park. It was around noon and packed with kids and their parents.

. . .

Another mom who was on a playground at the park at the time said she walked up to Pawlowski, and told him to take the toy gun and his kids and leave.

“I don’t tend to take things lying down, so I went past the parents, and so I walked straight over and I confronted him,” said Leni Calas. “I mean, he’s brandishing a firearm and I don’t care if that firearm is plastic. That’s unacceptable.”

. . .

He remained in custody Wednesday evening, on charges of reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of a minor, resisting arrest, and possession of an illegal BB gun.

In New York State, what is an illegal BB gun?

What is the background check for a legal BB gun?

This woman would probably be one of the first ones killed when SHTF. Or she will learn her place on the food chain very quickly.

People that are tired of this nonsense, will not have any patience for people like her.

She will probably be trading her body for a can of Spam within a couple weeks. And I am not passing judgement on her for this I am just saying she and her kids will be hungry and she (if she survives) will do what she can to provide for her kids after having an Awakening to the new reality.

People will be dealing for survival and she will think she can waltz right up and demand something from someone who may have a sick child at home that they are trying to get medicine for, and are trying to trade something to keep them alive. They will not take too kindly to this attitude.

We are a nation of cowards and spineless p@ssies and you can take that to the bank.

Those of us who are not cowards will survive, well some of us will, most none-Freeper types will not.

Hopefully, there are some good lawyers out there (not in the gubmit, obviously...cuz they are GOOD lawyers), that will sue 1) the gubmit, and 2) the low life piece of Obama-crement that turned in this person.

Given the firearm charges, he could conceivably press charges for 18USC241 & 242 violations... as well as sue the officers directly under 42USC1983.

Leni Calas. “I mean, he’s brandishing a firearm and I don’t care if that firearm is plastic. That’s unacceptable.”

What a dimwit, “firearm” is legally defined, and the item in question is NOT a firearm via legal definition.

In the coming months, years when Islam has gained an even greater foothold here, and when acts of violence that result in massive violence and death, we of the survivors will call women like these "victims" who died because of placing the placebo of Democrat 'feelgoodism' above common sense.

What is happening to our country? Toy gun bans and confiscation? BB gun bans and confiscation?

Unfortunately this is nothing new, it just gets more news time.

In the 1990's we drove down from New Hampshire to visit relatives in New Jersey. My uncle, who was in his 60's at the time and had never had so much as a traffic ticket in his life just happened to mention how he had been waiting over a year to get a permit approved so he could buy the 50th anniversary Daisy Red Ryder BB gun, a toy that he had played with as a child. So I told him that I would buy him one when I got back up to NH.

Our local store was sold out of Red Ryders but they said there was one available in their Methuen, MA store just over the border. We drove to Methuen and picked out the bb gun. When we went to pay we were told we had to apply for a permit to buy and wait for it to be approved by the police. I walked out in disgust.

As it turned out my sister, who also lived in NJ, was in Maine on business. I called her. She bought the BB gun at Kittery Trading Post, took it back and gave it to my uncle. He displayed it on the wall over his fireplace like it was a trophy.

All that trouble over a child's toy and you wonder why we left New Jersey.

The gun is variously reported as a toy, a pellet gun or a pellet gun. It really makes a difference.

the insane people left there will pass laws demanding payment before you can leave build a wall so no one can leave

SCREW you New York ... you are no longer Americans but are instead a flock of pathetic sheep not worthy of the liberties your fathers fought for

One good thing ... when CW2 comes the fed government won't have any real men to draft to fight us in the south this time

Was it a ‘toy’ gun or a ‘BB’ gun or both?

My guess is that there was a toy gun at the park. The BB gun was found when the police went to his home and arrested him.

Toy guns, BB guns, handguns, rifles, shotguns, fully automatic weapons and so on would be legal every where. I just have to laugh at the utter stupidity of New Yorkers. They built their utopia. I am prepared to stop its spread.

Criminals are arresting citizens for no good reason.
Nothing to see here.
Move along.

Arizona is a gun-friendly state. VERY gun-friendly. But if you shoot a BB gun in a public park in Arizona you will be arrested.
