So what is the charge for carrying a gun you are legally allowed to carry which you are carrying in the legally prescribed way.
Couple questions: 1. When was the last time you went 80 mph over the speed limit? 2. When was the last time you had a gun in your hand as the cops approached your car? 3. When was the last time you had the cops turn their lights on to pull you over and you just decided to floor it and drive away?
I couldn't care less about him owning (or carrying) a gun. I do care about him being dumb enough to be holding it as the cops are approaching the car - that's a great way to get yourself (and others) killed unnecessarily.
Real dumb for trying to hide a legal gun with cops approaching but he isn't lost for the season anymore.
We have no idea if he was holding the gun as the officers approached the vehicle. He clearly wasn't holding the gun while he was driving at 143 MPH. He'd have had to pull the gun after pulling into the driveway after a long high-speed chase and that seems really farfetched. The police will always see a gun in the guys hand if there's any chance it's there. That's survival tactics. I had a young friend who I was teaching to drive and who was very conservative cause some major consternation for a police officer once. We'd been driving in circles on the quietest road I could find, one with a great big circuit over a half mile and two intersections that had no traffic most of the time. So I was having him go the whole circuit, which made him deal with a potentially contested intersection twice on the circuit each time. We did that about a half dozen times and then we reversed direction so he could look at it from the other perspective also. Half an hour of that and I decided he'd had enough for the day and we went home. 2 minutes after we pulled up the driveway a grey unmarked police cruiser pulled in after us and a Lieutenant got out and moved toward us. Turned out a retired police officer who lived in the neighborhood had seen a beat up Toyota Corolla cruising around the neighborhood for half an hour. Young man at the wheel and an older guy in the passenger seat. They were driving slowly and he thought they were casing the neighborhood for potential burglary targets. He got the plate numbers on one of our innumerable circuits and called it in. The shift commander was who we got in response. There was no problem at all until my friend, who was a major law and order conservative from a religious family, put his hand behind his back holding something. The police officer immediately put his hand on his gun and told him to bring his hand out from behind his back. The friend just did not understand what was happening and kept his hand (holding his phone) behind his back. I had to yell at him to get his hand out in view before he understood the risk. He was 18, white, clean cut and clean shaven and he was in his own driveway. That's how strange things can get. It's why we really need to reinforce peace officer and de-emphasize police officer. A peace officer is just trying to keep the peace and taking action when things go wrong. A police officer is policing society. You want the first, not the second.
I do over 80 when im driving from one end of the state to the other. And im ded not the only person in the turnpike who does The gun obviously wasnt illegal You got me on that one, but thats because im a nurse so they rarely ticket me anyway. It never ceases to amaze me at how doom and gloom people go. Its the end of the world, he's the worst ever. He coulda killed someone. But he didn't, and what matters.

Not "over 80" - everyone goes over 80. What we're talking about is going 80 mph more than the speed limit (of 65). The relevant question is how many times in your life have you gone more than double the speed limit on the highway?
1. I did 100 in a 20 today. U jelly? 2. Everytine 3. http://www.camillc.com/spyder.htm Handle ya business homie
