Dennis Farina has been charged with illegally having a gun in his luggage at Los Angeles International Airport.

The city attorney's office on Wednesday charged the "Law & Order" actor with three misdemeanor counts involving possession of a concealed and loaded weapon. The charges carry a combined maximum sentence of 2 1/2 years in jail and $3,000 in fines.

Is there anything written in these microstamping laws that prevents someone from replacing the firing pin?

The gun companies need to put a ban on PR Kalifornia sales. Once every other state allows OC, we can then march into california with our "assault weapons" (classified as such due to having magizines and sights) and end the marxist regime. To think the good Ronald Reagan governed it.

They keep discouraging guns -- no wonder the crime rate is so high in LA and SF.

Actor Dennis Farina Gets Owned

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Dennis Farina may be able to carry a gun on-screen, but he won't be able to own one in California for several months.

The actor's attorney pleaded no contest on Thursday to a misdemeanor charge of bringing a weapon into a secure area at Los Angeles International Airport. A court commissioner sentenced him to up to two years of probation and ordered him to pay $1,991 in fines, said Los Angeles City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan. While on probation, Farina cannot own or carry a gun, Mateljan said.

A former policeman, Farina was arrested May 11 for having a .22 caliber semiautomatic handgun in his briefcase. He promptly apologized after his release, saying he forgot he had the gun in his baggage.

Other charges of carrying a concealed weapon and carrying a loaded firearm were dismissed.

EntertainerJerry Lewis Under Fire

LOS VEGAS (Not CA, but close) (AP) -- Las Vegas policeman Bill Cassell said 82-year-old Jerry Lewis was cited Friday for carrying an unloaded concealed weapon in his carry-on at the Las Vegas airport as he prepared to fly to Detroit from Las Vegas.

Lewis' manager, Claudia Marghilano, says the handgun is a hollowed-out prop gun that Lewis sometimes twirls during his show. She tells The Associated Press that the gun couldn't fire. Marghilano says Lewis didn't know the gun was in the bag along with other props.

Cassell says if the gun were merely a prop "it wouldn't be a weapon and we couldn't cite him for carrying a weapon."

Actor Dennis Farina Arrested After Loaded Gun Was Found in Luggage

Bail was set at $25,000 before police discovered the weapon was not registered. Charges were upgraded to a felony, and he is now being held in lieu of $35,000 bail.

How could it go this wrong in America? Amazing that juries actually convict for such nonsense.

I was thinking the same thing.

The bail issue especially got to me. Bail is insurance that one will show up in court... it's not a fine, though this court seems to think so.

I seriously hate liberals... they are the antithesis of freedom loving people. They want control, and as long as we have guns, they cannot take full control. The fact that they do all their evil via the courts just scares me more, because, we have more, not less rules and laws that bar us from having guns every year.

Don't worry though, as soon as they take our guns, private property will follow and so will free speech... both are already under assult by the left.

While I disagree with "liberal" or "leftist"methods and philosophy on many things, I did not start the thread to lump all of "the left" into one group, and certainly don't hate individuals because they think differently than I. The neighboring state of Minnesota has many "lefties" that discovered guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens is a good thing, so I certainly wouldn't say the majority of Minnesotans hate guns.

Often, false reasoning isthe root of the problem, in that many blame the gun, choosing to wrongly believe almost all people are inherently good, and that evil wouldn't exist if it weren't for capitalism (defined in many eyes as the lust for money), weapons (defined in many eyes as the lust for power), or some other non-human influence.

Back to the topic of the OP, this appears to only apply to transfers between "private" parties. Doesthe amount limitationalso apply to purhases from Licensed venders?

And would one have to apply for a purchase permit each and every time they want to purchase ammo?

Also, It appears that this new law applies to handgun ammo only. To get around that buy handguns that use rifle rounds. US Firearms is offering a commemorative SA revolver they call the "US M1A Carbine". It's a six shooter that fires the M1 Carbine .30 cal round.

Better option, pack your ditty bags and abandon Commifornia.
