A 21-year-old resident of Billings, Montana was arrested in the Hudson Valley for carrying loaded weapons in his vehicle, a practice permissible in the Wild West but illegal in New York. Kael McLean was stopped by State Police on I-84 in Southeast for speeding, and two loaded firearms along with a loaded ammunition feeding device were found in his car. McLean was charged with two felony counts of criminal possession of a loaded weapon and one count of unlawful possession of an ammunition feeding device. He was arraigned in Southeast and released without bail pending further court action. This incident serves as a reminder to out-of-state visitors that New York’s gun laws are stricter than those in states like Montana, and ignorance of the law is not a valid excuse. This arrest highlights the importance of understanding and abiding by the laws of the state in which one is traveling to avoid encountering legal trouble.
