Actually, the NBA contract with the players specifies that guns are not allowed in the locker room or at personal appearances on behalf of the teams, even if the player has a CCW. He KNOWINGLY violated the terms of his employment contract.

UPDATE: NBA player investigated over gun incident
The NBA has decided to go ahead and indefinitely suspend Gilbert Arenas, a Washington Wizards player who allegedly pulled out an unloaded gun in his team's locker room. Police and prosecutors had interviewed the player, who probably didn't help matters when he did this: Before a game Tuesday nig...

VIDEO: Flying kick knocks man into train's path
In Beaverton, Ore., some friends were horsing around next to a transit train when one of them "executed a flying kick," which knocked his buddy onto the tracks. Amazingly, thanks to the ground at that particular spot, he was unharmed, police say.
Actually, the hospital administrator already said in a news conference that the car was parked in an area designated for "long-term" parking for visitors to the hospital. She said that you will find several cars in that area that aren't moved for days or weeks at a time because visitors are staying with extremely ill loved ones in the hospital.
Makes me wonder if the person who parked the car there knew that and has a connection with the hospital.

Do we need "nearly naked" body scanners?
Another side effect of last week's attempted terror attack? There's going to be more support for airport scanners that can look under a passenger's clothes. Privacy advocates such as the ACLU have opposed these devices, saying they're too intrusive. (They basically show what you look like naked...
I'm not sure how much difference it's going to make, though. He's on leave from his job (don't remember if it's paid or unpaid but if he's been paying bills with that money, I doubt he has $10k just laying around). His mom is unemployed and I'm not sure he has enough "friends" to come up with the cash.

Judge lowers Shon Pernice's bond from $250K to $100K
This regards the July Fourth incident where he's accused of threatening his neighbors. So he'll have to find $10K instead of $25K. The judge also placed some strict conditions on his release, if he does make bond.
In a tree? Wow, Golfer, you've got better balance than I do!
Sorry, Golfer, hope these little pervs don't make too much of it. I was just thankful it was you and not someone like, oh, Aqua, for instance ....

Actually, my alarm went off the the dream just popped like a bubble, and I couldn't really remember anything except you were brunette, your daughter was blond, and you were a very nice guy. I have the feeling you were playing Good Samaritan or something, but why you is totally unknown.
I guess my mind wandered from helicopters to Shon Pernice to CSKC and came up with you!

Golfer - we have never met and our only connection, as far as I know, is that you're one of a cast of many from CSKC.
So, after I (FINALLY) fell back to sleep after being buzzed by the helicopters this morning - who shows up in my dream but "Golfer" and his daughter. Somehow, I just KNEW they were you and your daughter but couldn't tell you why for the life of me....
Very, very weird.

Yeah, I LOVED waking up to the sound of helicopters buzzing around my backyeard in the wee hours of the morning (for over an hour no less). However, this time it was for a good cause. I'm glad no one was seriously hurt.
(Usually when I have cop helicopters buzzing around my house, it has something to do with Shon Pernice. Honestly, the first thing I thought when I woke up is "Shon's still in jail - what could he have possibly done this time?)

NY towtruck was using 2 cellphones at once when he crashed, police said
He was texting on one, speaking on another, they allege. He ran into a car carrying a 60-something and a little girl, crashed through a fence, smacked a house and landed in a pool.
Actually, the judge declared a mistrial this morning.
"Ranville admitted his error in signing the pages, but denied any knowledge of forged signatures and his attorney argued that unless he knew a signature was false, he is not guilty."
The Jackson County prosecutor’s office now must decide whether to retry the case.

Most companies that cater to the public have a similar policy. The theory is to "not escalate" a potentially life-threatening situation.
However, my manager at CVS has been put on notice -- I will cooperate to the point where I think my well-being is being threatened anyway. At that point, all bets are off and I'm going out fighting. I'd rather lose my job than my life.
