It is very easy to get, considering he has lived there his whole life no reason why he should not have it. I believe the only reason for him to catch a gun charge would be because of not having the permit. If this is the case he is a real idiot!!! no it doesn’t. It is an open carry state. To carry Concealed YES you need a permit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) The 4-wheeler may also be a problem as I think most pro sports contracts have restrictions on activities like riding one of those. Small problem compared to the alcohol though. Edited May 17, 2020 by keepthefaith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Not great. I think we’ll be fine with Butler and Jefferson, though losing him will hurt. I’m more concerned about what it could do to derail his career. Hopefully he can get back to himself and stay out of trouble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Relax. He made a stupid mistake. He's a kid. He'll learn (I hope). I hope his impending suspension is his wakeup call. I'll be so disappointed if he's the next Darius. I'll wager he's gonna have a very difficult conversation with McDermott in the near future. He was supposed to make a big jump in progress this year. Let's hope that process doesn't get derailed. Why do these guys have to drive around with guns anyways? Just to show off? He needs to grow up. 3 minutes ago, pop gun said: Doubt he gets suspended at all. 1st offense. McDermott is his biggest worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I don't see what the big deal is here. To me this looks like Ed Oliver aspires to be just like Marshawn Lynch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 He should be more scared of McDermott than the legal system. Honestly it doesn't look like he did something terrible, just stupid. He looks remorseful and I don't think it will be a pattern. Pretty stupid mistake but it's not as bad as I feared from the headline. Probably will end up with a minor game suspension in 2021. 2 games if the weapons charge gets dropped, otherwise 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed can turn this around and move past it, if he wants to. He has to realize the mistake and make a concerted effort not to repeat it. I'm confident the Bills organization and Ed will be able to move past this. But again, it is up to Ed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like NYS laws Thanks MAJBobby for educating people about "open carry states" and the difference between open carry and concealed permits. Colorado is open carry too and it's weird but when I lived in Texas it was just a few miles away from where this incident took place. I agree with your opinions and all that is left is to wait for the BAC test results to see what is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t understand why if I have 3 beers in a bar, get in a car and drive home that is somehow okay, but if I have a beer as I am driving to the Home Depot and back it is somehow illegal, and worse to some people immoral. It’s a dumb law. What matters is how much I drink, not where I drink it. I’ll add to this. From an ADA in Buffalo. Open container while driving is a non-moving violation. 0 points. 99.9% of the time will only result in a ticket for about $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurmasThoman Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 A little birdie told me, if you ever get pulled over: never admit to having even a drop of alcohol. The officers all have dash cams, and if you say you'e been drinking, their leniency goes right out the window. Letting you off the hook and then you plow into a pedestrian WHILE THEY HAVE YOU ON TAPE saying you've been drinking... their life is over too. If you simply say "I've had nothing to drink," you could smell like a bottle redemption center and be blackout, and they still might let you go. Even if the cop says "are you being honest with me?" Your answer remains: "Yes. I've had absolutely nothing to drink." Or so I've been told... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 3 hours ago, JMF2006 said: I hope he gets at least 200 hours of community service from the courts(that should keep him busy) Considering how much time some players spend on charities it may just offset it and if judge says "it does not count, you need to spend it in this jurisdiction doing menial labor picking up trash" he should make a big deal on it, giving bad publicity to jurisdiction. Lots of local businessmen get off with a lot less. In one company I worked at officer did community service for charity associated with company. Everything was going well until he was caught drinking and driving while he was supposed to doing community service and investigation revealed he spent no time at charity but charity person just checked off box saying he did.
