Totally legal here. Just happened to be in the wrong state.

 

[BUMPA01603]

I'm pretty sure this was their stuff, looks like they were in the right place, wrong time, gotta be careful out there

 

[not new guy]

I wonder how many of these charges they talked themselves into.

 

[76Too]

Be careful of what? These morons sealed their own fate and deserve what they got. Retards.

No LTC, High Caps and reeking of Marijuana. So much fail.

 

[citoriguy]

Smoking weed and going to the gun range is totally the “hey - hold my beer and watch this” scenario.

I know the off duty officer that was there. Says they were definitely under the influence which was the initial concern and the call to local pd.

Any idea why only one was in court today?

The initial contact made by the off duty officers was that they were under the influence. The rest came out when the responding officers arrived.

Nope.

 

[not new guy]

So 1 at least...

The smell of weed and their actions as if under the influence was what drew the attention of the off duty officers. Right place.....shouldnt have smoked a joint in the car on the way to the range......is more like it.

The Warren Patrolman's Assoc is getting blasted on facebook lol

 

[RumRunner]

Of if you are going to smoke before the range, shoot black power to cover the smell

There is a quality, high IQ comment section on the post if you want a nice chuckle.

Geez.....can I go shoot at the range and bring an 18 pack? WTF, getting stoned and shooting, great combination. I don't want ANYONE that's been drinking OR smoking(dope) handling a firearm around me.

I regularly polish off a twelve-snack when I go to the range. [/sarcasm]

Can someone with a FB account paste in some of the comments?

These guys were idiots, if I smelled weed on someone at my range I would at the very least make note of their names and report them to the club.

I'd take it a step further and call a cold range and tell them it stays cold until they are gone. Then worry about the member numbers.

It's a 50 to split pretty much. Some praising the cops that they made the state safer. Some calling them Jack boot thugs.....victimless crime yadayada

lol, i was gonna suggest they toss down a pint of jim beam to mask the aroma. nothing says the only smoke you smell is the full bodied duskiness of kentucky's finest.

 

[Mr.E]

well, seeing as Warren is the West Virginia of Massachusetts this isn't surprising.
These two were likely kissing cousins if you know what I mean (and if you've ever been to Warren)...

 

[dw617]

which range??

I am curious to know as well. Private club? Both clubs I belong to ensured I had a valid LTC but of course if I failed to renew earlier this year, they woudn't be any the wiser.

Impaired shooters piss me off. I won’t go looking
for it but if somebody comes up to me at the range
reeking of booze or crack or marijuana or anything
else that I deem suspicious I will call them out on it
immediately. I just have no patience for people doing
dangerous things while being impaired. Not like shooting
is inherently dangerous but when you’re impaired it sure is.

I put it in the same category are impaired driving.
I’ll put a stop to it if I can. We have enough tragedy
in life without dopes making things worse by getting
high and doing things that could hurt others.

Not a victimless crime. Someone could have been shot.
If they were in a 100 acre field and could only shoot each other
then have at it.
