Hannity Pulled Gun On Liberal Fox News Co-Worker

a reply to: BlueJacket

Lol again...laser sights work independently from the gun...they are turned on, just like a pen light...ever had one?

Except this one was attached to a gun and while attached to that gun, it was pointed at Juan Williams. That's according to three sources cited by CNN and not directly refuted by Hannity, Williams or the quoted Fox News spokesperson.

Do you really think a ccw and personality like Hannity would do anything to Williams?

Do I think that Hannity would have shot Juan Williams in the Fox News studio? No, I do not and I did not say anything to that effect. It also doesn't appear that Hannity was threatening to discharge his gun.

However, in reference to the first part of your question — "a ccw" — and the statements from Fox & Hannity going on about his degree of training and permit holding, I do feel — as I said right in the OP — that Hannity was more than likely showing off and acting like a moronic yahoo.

That sort of behavior would be in contrast to the image of responsible gun ownsership that Hannnity (and the Fox News spokesperson) try to promote.

It really doesnt matter...if Hannity did anything even close to what he said...it would of been actual news. Dont feed the troll.

Jesus, you leftists are getting desperate.

Did Rachael Maddow start this typically wingnut leftist thread?

No wonder you snowflakes keep losing...

To quote Juan Williams -

"This incident is being sensationalized -- everything was under total control throughout and I never felt like I was put in harm's way," Williams' statement read. "It was clear that Sean put my safety and security above all else and we continue to be great friends."

To quote theantediluvian -

Then again, it's also the sort of moronic, yahoo behavior I'd expect somebody like Sean Hannity to engage in when trying to show off because he's a clown.

Put them both together -

The incident is being sensationalized by theantediluvian even more because he's a clown.

All of the available licenses are business related or for security personnel:

CARRY BUSINESS LICENSE: This is an unrestricted class of license which permits the carrying of a handgun concealed on the person. It is valid for the business name, address, and handguns listed on the front of the license. It is not transferable to any other person, business, occupation, or address, without the written approval of the commanding officer, license division.

LIMITED CARRY BUSINESS LICENSE: IS A RESTRICTED TYPE OF LICENSE. The licensee may only carry handguns indicated on the license in accordance with the specific limitations listed thereon. At all other times the weapon must be safeguarded within the confines of the business address listed on the front of the license either concealed on the licensee's person in a proper holster or stored unloaded in a locked safe.

SPECIAL CARRY LICENSE: Is valid for the business name, address and handguns listed on the front of this license, only while the licensee has in his possession a valid basic county license issued according to the provisions of article 400 of the N.Y.S. Penal law. Upon the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of the basic license, the special license is rendered void and must be immediately returned to the license division.

CARRY GUARD LICENSE: (SECURITY GUARDS, ETC.) Applications for this type of license must be made with the documentation provided by a company's Gun Custodian. It is issued only for the handgun listed on the license. The handgun may be carried only while the licensee is actively engaged in employment for the company whose name appears on the license, and/or while licensee is in transit directly to or from residence and place of employment. At all other times the handgun must be stored unloaded in a locked container, at either the address on the license, or at the employee's legal residence (within the State of New York).

I'm pretty sure it is illegal to be carrying a firearm through the city without working for a security company or a hotel.

And I'm definitely sure firearms are prohibited in the studio.

You dont know guns, and thats ok....the laser works independently...got it?

I wouldnt point an unloaded gun with or without a laser and im betting Hannity didn't either.

Are you done yet?

Yea but if the laser was attached to the gun it would most assuredly be mounted on the sight of the pistol, therefor facing in the direction of the barrel.

This thread is the final proof that the ATS right wing has lost their collective minds.

I pray for your country,

You've piqued my interest, what exactly has the "right wing" done in this thread that leads you to believe they've lost their collective minds?

Could this story perhaps be referring to an incident that took place on location somewhere else in the USA?

I'm thinking that if there's any truth to this story at all, at best they were reporting on location somewhere in the south at a gun range. Perhaps they were doing a demo with an instructor that had passed around an unloaded weapon with a laser mounted on it for the FOX anchors to display in front of the camera.

True on a pistol usually a crimson trace from the grip
Im sure Hannity had permission and it was unloaded in that case...if this happened, which i dont see proof of then Hannity and Williams are fools...

a reply to: theantediluvian

White House isn't a clown show...lost all your integrity(of this post) with that. And as others, so what?

Fake news going after their enemies.

This Fake news is Very Fake News.

I'd say it is the way some people rushed in to defend when the OP was actually just telling an uneventful thing that had happened.

a reply to: daskakik

Totally agree, thats why I think this is utter bs

Both of which do not apply in a consenting demonstration for paid entertainment.

a reply to: theantediluvian

Hannity was just showing off, the sources said, but the unforeseen off-camera antic clearly disturbed Williams

How convenient, off camera, no proof.
Pictures or it didn't happen comes to mind.
People that know how to handle firearms don't point them at other people unless they intend to use them.

It loathes me to side with an obvious leftist like the OP, but I have to, in this case.

You never point a weapon at another person, unless you're willing to pull the trigger.

Ever.

Huh?
Who says a gun is always loaded?
Of course you always act like it is, but if you check, and it is not loaded, then it is not loaded.

a reply to: BlueJacket

But you posted that if it did happen that "the gun was unloaded in that case" as if that makes it OK.

I personally don't have a problem with it but anyone who cares about gun safety should.
