Who brings a gun to a wedding?

a reply to: marg6043

My husband did, yes, to OUR wedding and while in the church, Catholic church, when I found out he did I was soo mad

He was just making sure you didn't change your mind is all he was doing.

Just wondering if he ever told you why he had it in the first place?

So where are the statistics on how many weddings there have been in the last year where there were firearms on site, but nobody had an accident?

I'm guessing the number is far higher than you'd suspect, but this guy is still a dunce.

Apparently one shot from the gun, five people injured.

Well it supposedly isn't something that can't happen...look at JFK.

Magic bullets are everywhere.

He always had a guns, he was in the military at the time and always kept a small berretta with him at all times, I told him to leave it at his parents house, but he said he forgot and had it with him at the church.

That is very understandable.

Hard to keep a man and his guns apart for to long.

The local news is now reporting that he 'reached into his pocket and the gun just went off'.

Anyone who has ever handled a handgun knows what a total pile of horses*** that is.

Here you go, hot off the local presses:

Man who accidentally fired gun during wedding at Waldorf-Astoria handed gun off to brother; both charged with evidence tampering: police Source

Vladamir Gotlibovsky, 42, is identified as the handgun's owner.

Thank you Augustus. The couple of names mentioned in the article don't sound american to me.Immigrants?

Don't BE REDICULOUS,THIS is 21st CENTURY AMERICA!
They are AR15 weddings now...

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Thanks for the update

Note that it has gone from "playing with the gun" to "accident"

Story says that he reached into his pocket and it went off. I guess that means safety was off, one in the chamber, and the gun was cocked.

Just another reason to avoid weddings. You don't even have to be the groom anymore to get a sentenced to hard time.

This guy, apparently..

Five people were injured Saturday during an accidental shooting at a wedding reception at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York City authorities said.

A guest at the wedding was playing with a gun at about 7:20 p.m. when it accidentally fired, police sources told NBC 4 New York, stressing that their investigation is in a preliminary stage.

It's hard to defend the rights of gun owners when morons do things like this.

www.nbcnewyork.com...

Details are a bit short.

Where in the article or video does it say that this man was "Legally" carrying a firearm. Unless he is LEO or private security I highly doubt he is legally carrying a firearm in freeking NYC.


It is quite easy to defend legal gun rights when presenting evidence of possible illegal actions

Of course. What jacknugget is going to admit that they were toying around with a handgun?

Story says that he reached into his pocket and it went off. I guess that means safety was off, one in the chamber, and the gun was cocked.

The thing obviously did not go off because not even a moron carries around a pistol with the safety off, cocked and loaded.

This clown and his brother should both do some time. New York City has mandatory jail time for carrying an unlicensed firearm if he did not have one.

He is most likely a cop....

Shotgun wedding,apparently....

Is this a trick question?

The father of the pregnant bride of course.

This story reminded me of a similar incident in our region.
www.cbs12.com...

This guy shot his Mother! And it dang near killed her.
Fortunately, the sheriff's department finally let him go because this wasn't his first rodeo. Earlier in his career he had an accidental discharge that injured a fellow deputy.

If ever there was a clearer case of "we need more laws against stupid", you'd have to travel a ways to find it...

That person is an idiot. Playing with a firearm? ...at a wedding? Seriously? I really hope someone punched him a few dozen times...

Just...wow. You can't fix stupid.

a reply to: seagull

Gotlibovsky was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment, assault and tampering with physical evidence.

Some people are not stupid until alcohol takes over...then bam - stupid manifests him/herself. In this instance at a wedding reception at 1920hrs, playing with a gun - yep, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the idiot had half a skin-full of booze which is why it went from "gun at a wedding" to "5 people shot at a wedding"

Reckless endangerment: A person commits the crime of reckless endangerment if the person recklessly engages in conduct which creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person.

a reply to: Sublimecraft

Very true.

Guns and booze... That's a catastrophe waiting to happen.

The charges pending seem appropriate to the event.

Still and all...stupid.
