ND at Top Golf

[Gunmetalgray]

Wonder when the no firearms signs will be going up at Top Golf, assuming not already up...

Article implies it fell out onto the ground, so no drop safety on it then?

Being a felon repeatedly illegally possessing a firearm should warrant a full blown prosecution for every applicable criminal violation. Hopefully, no soft glove plea deals and an easy conviction.
Let’s see what happens?

Dang a Sig 320 is a nice pistol for a felon thug to be carrying. I thought they all carried beat up Glocks and such.

shame, he was just getting his life turned around too….

 

[Twangbanger]

I thought the punch line was going to be, they found him hiding out in the Boom Room at IKEA...

Kel tecs and Hi-Points mostly. Haha


I thought this was a joke thread about the guy that launched a golf ball over the net.

Holy crap, the AR golf ball launcher has some velocity.

Has he been released yet?

Top Golf is in Hamilton County, not Marion. My guess is he'll actually face some real time given his reported history.

 

[Gunmetalgray]

If not for the discharge, no one would have known he was carrying as a felon. Glad no bystanders were hurt.

I thought Sig fixed that going off when dropped issue?

Court records reveal that Hurd has been charged multiple times in the past for being a serious violent felon in possession of a firearm. Last March, he pleaded guilty to his charge and was given four years of probation with the first two years ordered to be served on home detention.

Hurd was still on GPS monitoring when he visited Topgolf. Marion County Probation helped police determine that Hurd was at Topgolf by tracking his GPS monitor and determining that he fled the business and returned to his home on 34th Street.

So this proves what's already been known: that house arrest thing is more of an audit trail after the fact than any kind of actual active monitoring... Yeah, what a deterrent.

So...he may get a stern talking-to and several finger wags.
What is the maximum sentence for felon with a gun?

Federal it's 10 years IIRC. State? Well looking at MyCase he had not one but 3 SVF with handgun arrests. One he did some time. Next one dismissed (Mears) next one found guilty, got 5 years... 5 days jail credit and the rest was suspended.

I think this might be the problem.

"I think this might be the problem" is like saying "The maiden voyage of the Titanic was somewhat sub-optimal."

One might wonder how many people are on house arrest vs how many people there are to monitor those out house arrest. One could similarly wonder what private enterprise is paid for the house arrest program. One could then perhaps wonder how much profit is generated by not monitoring the people in a monitoring program.

Not me, of course. I mind my own business and don't wonder things at all. Wondering about things can get you in trouble, after all.

Dang. For once in my life, I am relieved by something-29-plate.

I have often wondered myself, how many Amish are on house arrest? But I dare not wonder out loud.

None, but they can borrow their neighbor's ankle bracelet.

In Marion county, several finger wags and a severe tongue lashing...

But not all on the same day, as that would be cruel
