Another sledgehammer prosecution
of a law abiding citizen
Tennessee tourist arrested after
voluntarily surrendering pistol at 9/11 memorial
Tourist faces 3 years in prison
for trying to check her gun
NEW YORK (AP) — A tourist from Tennessee reportedly thought she could check her loaded gun at New York City’s Sept. 11 memorial.
The New York Post says 39-year-old Meredith Graves was visiting the memorial at the World Trade Center site on Dec. 22 and noticed a sign that said “No guns allowed.” The Post reports that Graves asked police where she could check her loaded pistol. She was arrested on a gun-possession charge:
Graves, a fourth-year medical student, showed up at the memorial on Dec. 22 to pay her respects during a trip north for a job interview.
She didn’t realize that the loaded .32-caliber pistol in her purse would be a problem until she saw a sign at the site that read, “No guns allowed,” sources said.
“She remembered she had the gun on her,” a source said. She walked up to a security guard and said, “I have this gun. Where can I check it?”
The guard told her that she was in luck because of “law enforcement day” — and led her to another area.
When she got to that section, she asked another cop, “We have this gun — can we check it in here? We [my husband and I] are not law-enforcement.”
That’s when she was arrested.
Graves has a legal permit to carry a weapon in Tennessee, but New York’s gun laws are stricter. She got the gun into the city because she drove from Tennessee.
