A Cleveland man faces charges after waving a gun around while at an event at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds, the Berea Police Department said.

James Gregory, 54, is charged with aggravated menacing, aggravated trespassing, inducing panic and using weapons while intoxicated, court records say.
Gregory told police someone threatened to shoot him and he defended himself. He repeatedly denied pulling a gun out while being booked in Strongsville City Jail.

He is a concealed carry permit holder, but violated the law by being under the influence and carrying the gun on fairgrounds property, the report says.

If he was a Samolian police officer from Minneapolis, he could've shot the other fellow and walked.

Of course we will have to see if the details are accurate as stated. One thing is inaccurate: Outside of the buildings it is NOT illegal for a licensee to carry on fairgrounds property.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

I know. But the story made it seem as if carry at a fairgrounds is unlawful in itself. How long we been trying to tilt at THAT windmill now?

Well, to be fair, the story also reads as if he waved the gun around while "being booked in the Strongsville City Jail" so... :lol:
I like to swap brass... and I'm looking for .32 H&R Mag, .327 Fed Mag, .380 Auto and 10mm. If you have some and would like to swap for something else, send me a note!
