The New York Post reports Fred Vankirk, 59, of Columbus, was arrested at about 11 a.m. Saturday after cops found two .357 Magnum pistols and a .45 semiautomatic in his room at a Midtown-area hotel.
Police were notified of the guns‘ presence by a maid who came in to clean the man’s room. She spotted one of the revolvers sitting on a table and notified security, who notified police.
Ankirk, however, does have a permit for his guns — in Ohio. But in New York City — where gun laws are some of the strictest in the country — it’s doubtful that will be a valid defense.
