Another of the red bandana ‘HOGn’ crew – they’ll want to check ballistics on that one against the slugs they pulled out of Casey Campbell’s corpse.
You should make a phone call to Fortuna PD.
EPD knows who shot Casey, and the backshooting douches from the clique ur talking about are in humco jail on other charges. It would be Justice to be able to someday tell his sons that the scum that shot their daddy in the back are locked up for the murder… Great idea about testing ballistics, hopefully Cheif Mills will see your idea.
Who’s this that was my bf who was murdered u refered to…
Bwahahahaha
Is this even a felony? He might not get in that much trouble. Carrying a concealed, stolen firearm and brandishing it in a bar, should be grounds for a good ole ass whipping by the cops.
I think it is. Even if the gun wasn’t stolen and he didn’t brandish it in the state of California its against the law to have a gun in a bar ccw permit or not.
Unless the gun was stolen from a locked safe, the owner should be charged with a crime.
Excuse me, since when is it a law that citizens are at fault for the theft of their own personal property? I don’t care what that property is. Please explain why.
Yes, but he was just a baby then….
