A Nevada man with a shotgun, a loaded handgun and ammunition in his vehicle was arrested at a security checkpoint outside Donald Trump’s rally Saturday night in the Southern California desert, authorities said Sunday. He was released Saturday on $5,000 bail.
The suspect, a 49-year-old resident of Las Vegas, was driving a black SUV that was stopped by deputies assigned to the rally in Coachella, east of Los Angeles, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.
The man was arrested on suspicion of possessing a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine, the department said.
How is that even a thing in the US?
I mean, isn’t that his constitutional right, outside the checkpoint, presumably on a public road?
It’s totally a thing in California. You’re supposed to transport your firearms in the unloaded state, unless you have a concealed carry license.
TY!
