Bad economy means poor poor auto maintenance?
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 has a legal permit to carry a weapon in Tennessee, but New York's gun laws are stricter.
The Post says Graves posted bond and is due back in court March 19. She faces 3? years in prison if convicted.
?You?d think states would reciprocate with the Second Amendment. She has a license to carry in Tennessee,? her mother-in-law told the Post.
The newspaper says her attorney at Legal Aid did not return phone calls.
