The NYPD says a police officer stopped the suspect after seeing him go into in Manhattan subway station Sunday night without paying. The officer then noticed a handgun in the man’s waistband.
Police recovered a loaded Smith & Wesson .45-caliber handgun and a loaded Intratec Luger Tec-9 machine gun. Police say the machine gun was found inside a bag the man was carrying.
Police identified him as 33-year-old Allen Reggie of Columbia, S.C. He’s charged with criminal possession machine gun, criminal possession weapon loaded firearm and other charges.
It was not immediately clear whether he has a lawyer.
Well no one carries a tec-9 (“the most popular gun in American crime”) for protection purposes and certainly not 2 loaded weapons except if you’re working for the mafia.
His right of self defense was taken away by an abusive officer! Free men do not ask permission to bear arms!
he heard that nyc subways are very dangerous
I’ve twice been so scared on the train I wished I’d had a gun. of course, I would probably have shot myself trying to use it
Crazy thing is, if he had bought a ticket, he would not have been stopped or caught. Just goes to show how “safe” we really are, and where the NYPD priorities really are – only stopping people to give them tickets.
wow. with all those weapons on him, and he didnt open fire.
You’d think someone who could lay out that kind of dough for all that heat could come up with subway fare. Or spring for a cab.
what was his plan? most people were off from work on sunday and monday.
