Cuomo aide (laser pointer guy) caught breaking gun law, quickly receives waiver
Daily Caller ^ | 2/13/14 | Will Rahn

Jerome Hauer, a top aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, appears to have regularly carried a firearm to work in violation of state law.

Hauer runs New York’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services. Cuomo, an advocate of ultra-strict gun control laws, appointed him to the job in 2011.

Hauer’s 9-millimeter Glock first came to the attention of local newspapers when he used the gun’s laser sighting attachment as a pointer during a meeting with a Swedish delegation. That event occurred last October at a State Police bunker, and was first reported by the Albany Times Union in January.

On Wednesday, the Times Union learned that Hauer had received a waiver allowing him to carry a handgun to work. The waiver was issued only four days after they ran the story about Hauer using the laser sight as a pointer.

Just don't give the idiot any bullets.

The intent of the law was to prosecute only conservatives. Leftists don’t follow the laws.

You ought to know by now that laws don’t apply to the ruling class. Just us peasants.

"After?" It's one of those flexible "David Gregory" laws, isn't it?

Unless it’s a Lasermax, the lasers typically are removable in about 2 seconds.

(assuming he’d not stupid enough to point the gun with the laser attached to it)

One set of rules for normal people, another for the privileged ruling elite.

I'm honestly amazed that someone that stupid could even hold a government job.

Confused. Did he take the laser sight off before he used it as a pointer, or was he effectively pointing the muzzle around in order to utilize the laser?

People like this don’t want existing laws followed; they just want more and more restrictive laws.

Thinking about it, this is just as serious as the governor of New Jersey’s top aides closing a bridge lane as retribution.

Ooh! Ooh! Do you thing the big media will jump on this story and keep at it for weeks??!!!
