Doesn't FL have the most lenient gun laws anywhere? Super easy to buy a gun in Florida but concealed weapons permits (three hour class) are required to walk around with it in public. He probably did not have the later and ran into a dbag cop. Orlando is filled with those asshats.

I just don't get the gun thing. With their money and fame do they think they need the hood status? And if they ever pull it out, even in self defense, you know they'll do jail time because of their publicity value to prosecutors. I grew up a poor white boy so maybe I just don't have the background to understand it. Love for someone to explain it to me.

Let's not jump to concussions.
Wikipedia (for what it's worth) says his DOB is September 23, 1985. The document in the first post, though hard to read, appears to say September 25, 1985- 2 days difference. And I know it's true cuz I read it on the internetz.
Chris Johnson is a very common name and this may or may not be our CJ.

Article is on espn now. He rolled through a stop sign so he was pulled over. Officer asked to search car, he obliged and they found his licensed firearm under a book bag under a seat. It wasn't locked up so its considered an Open Carry. I wonder why the officer wanted to search his car and I wonder why he said yes. Nothing too serious, but I don't think it's the reason why he won't be here next year. He just didnt produce enough.

I think you get 3 years in NYC for that. That's correct as far as what he was charged with. Pretty much anyone can get a gun (handgun) in FL, but you need a permit to carry it around. I never understood why you'd get the gun, but not spring for the 3 hour class + a few bucks to get a permit so that you could carry legally. Also, cut him. What a waste.

Iv'e had a concealed here in Fl since about 98-99 and back then you didn't need any type of license to store a handgun, fully loaded but concealed in your vehicle. I took my certification course with a former DA..... and as long as a piece of newspaper was covering that fully loaded handgun on your passenger seat it was legal. I doubt those laws have changed since then, if anything they might be more lax down here. Having a concealed permit means you were certified by a training course(which is a fucking joke here in FL), submitted your fingerprints(not a felon or mental), and get a passport photo. That's it. I might be behind on the current laws but I have no idea why Chris Johnson was arrested. It doesn't change the fact I still want to cut him.

Even with a concealed permit any type of open carry like that is absolutely a crime, even for someone like myself. Although the earlier reports suggested they asked to search the vehicle and the handgun was concealed.
