Pistol Packin Itinerants Face Felony Charges In Court
Athens County Common Pleas Court convicted Gordon Bing, 27, of carrying a concealed weapon after police found a loaded .22 revolver in his car. Prosecutor Michael Nolan noted a rising trend of similar stop and search cases where weapons were spotted in glove compartments during traffic stops. He explained the 1969 law change made concealed weapon carrying a felony rather than a misdemeanor. He advised unloading the gun and keeping cartridges in the trunk for safe transport.
