Pjjrfan - Seriously? Put them up high (on a closet shelf or something). You can also buy gun locks, and just keep the keys hidden or out of reach.So I have some guns at my house, and my child is now in their terrible twos and having the guns around could pose a danger, what should I do? I know I'll take them to my work place and keep them there, I'll just let the boss know so it won't be a problem.
Something like this:

How is it a federal matter? The only issue would be with the District of Columbia's hyper-liberal gun laws. I guess they could go after him on the registration of the firearms issue, but the NRA and other gun-friendly associations are just waiting for D.C. to try and give someone jail time for that so they can take it to the Supreme Court.
Did I miss where it said arenas is the one who owed money?
In a New York Post article, it said Crittenton got pissed off at Arenas for refusing to make good on a gambling debt.
Check out the big brain on Brad.
brandishing a gun at someone in DC(whether you fired the gun or not) is considered assault and has an automatic 5 year sentence in jail. I doubt they'd be able to prove he really did it, though.
I think conviction for a felony is the trigger.
Looks to me like the Spurs will be covering the spread tonight.
Distractions on the opposing team? I'll take them...
Trap game.
If its true the Wizards knew Arenas had brought guns to the stadium but failed to report it, the Grunfeld is going to face some harsh sanctions.
Thanks for screwing my DL II team, Arenas you nutcase.
Jayson's case isn't resolved, and I heard recently that it's active again.Remember Jayson Williams?
Plaxico played football. Plenty of football players go to jail. Not many NBA players.
The only recent example of an NBA baller going to prison was JR Smith's 30 days. Registered sex offender Ruben Patterson didn't go to jail, nor Ron Artest for any of his acts, nor Jax, nor Damon Stoudamire for his many weed infractions. Stern has pull.
Delonte West's case is probably just as serious. He was carrying multiple guns around in public and they wer loaded. No developments IIRC.
You have very good logic throughout this thread.
Arenas is truly an immature dumbass. His childish actions never cease to amaze me - but this has gone too far. His defiant comments to the media following the Spurs game, seem to indicate a lack of remorse about this incident. In fact, this dude seems -bent on proving to the world that he's going to continue to laugh and joke about the situation, no matter what.
Personally, I hope he gets convicted and his multi-million dollar contract gets voided. This guy need to be taught a valuable life lesson. Perhaps some jail time will give this nutcase the time needed to contemplate how serious this charge really was and what a charmed life he has.
Of course, I'd hate to see thw Bullets (Wizards) get an out on this. I still can't believe they were dumb enough to give Arenas a max contract in the first place. I remember the club seemingly regretted the decision almost immediately, because they unsuccessfully shopped Arenas the following summer.

Ian Thomsen over at cnnsi.com: Look at it another way: Players ultimately face a "lifetime" ban for using cocaine and other recreational drugs. But the potential consequences of that crime are less incendiary than an escalation of an argument involving guns.
Probably a good point, with the caveat that the drug prohibition is ridiculous and out of control, and there's no rational basis for banning an NBA player for coke; still, if the NBA has that rule, hard to go light on a gun violation.
On the espn radio this morning they said Crittenton stepped up on the charter plane and covered Arenas' poker loss that happened during the flight, which they said was 60k. Crittenton expected to get paid back and when Arenas was confronted about paying him back Arenas put 3 unloaded guns in front of Crittenton's locker and told him to pick one.
I think Arenas makes about 18million this yeah and Crittenton makes around 1.5mil why screw with someone who does you a big favor? No idea if it happened like that but sounds all messed up.
He was just kidding though...you know how us normal people do that when playfully arguing over a gambling debt.
Just "guys" being "guys"
the mailman on the issue...

The whole incident is a big mess.
Karl is a funny guy. and by 'funny,' I mean a blow hard hypocrite. Same article:
When I was in Utah, I took all the necessary training with the gun and had my concealed-weapons permit, and I'll be the first to tell you I don't go anywhere in my vehicle without my weapon, but at no point has it ever occurred to me to take it inside anywhere, let alone an arena.

The big picture is that guns won't protect you. If someone really wanted to get you, they would. If you still feel you need that protection, get yourself a bodyguard who knows the rules and knows the laws. How about you do all of that before you even consider having a gun? For you to say you need a gun for your protection? My goodness gracious, how are you living that you need that?
Yea, I didn't understand that neither from Malone.
