Too bad

This can't be good. Watch the articles say "former Trail Blazer".

Telfair, a Brooklyn native, was a standout high school player at Abraham Lincoln High School and bypassed college to become a first-round draft pick in 2004. He played for the Portland Trail Blazers and many other teams before finishing his career in China in 2014.

Bastards!

Fake news

Aren't bullet proof vests illegal?

 

[Chris Craig]

I knew weed as soon as I read the thread title (Strangely the weed is not in the photograph) but thats a lot of heat, plus a vest, and yes @ripcityboy they are illegal.

I still say, he was the right draft pick. If it was the 2nd round and the only other player available was a child molester.

Aren't bullet proof vests illegal?

No. Not to my knowledge. But certain jurisdictions may restrict them.

 

[Reep]

This is really being overblown. Headline sounds like he's an arms dealer. I take more than what he had on a single trip to the outdoor range. The only charges to this point is the bullet proof vest and a high capacity magazine, which is likely legal in most free states. OMG, he had a "gas powered sub machine gun" translated means he had an AR pistol. Also legal in most free states. If he was white in Idaho this would be a traffic ticket for the pot.

Fake News is right.

I remember going to see this at the Hollywood Theater.

Arms dealers presumably have some kind of license and a responsible arms dealer would not mix guns and pot.

He was in Toronto for like five seconds FFS. Like showing Chauncey Billups in a Raptors jersey.

TBQH I had no idea Telfair bounced around so much. Nine teams in ten years is crazy.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Arms dealers presumably have some kind of license and a responsible arms dealer would not mix guns and pot.

They do. It is called a Federal Firearms License, issued by the BATFE. No reputable gun dealer I've ever met would mix pot sales with guns.

This guy wasn't a gun dealer though. He's just a poser and a clown.

 

[crandc]

Agree, Falcon. Another poster said fake news since Telfair was an arms dealer.
