Marino Press Secretary Faces Gun Charge
It’s not yet getting much notice but the press secretary of a Pennsylvania congressman is facing gun charges.
Ryan Shucard, 26, was hired by Congressman Tom Marino (R-Pa10) in late May.
He is a resident of Alexandria, Va. and is registered, trained and permitted to hold a gun in his state, which he does, a 9mm Smith and Wesson.
Well, on Friday, July 18, he brought it work, unloaded, which he is allowed to do as federal law allows employees of Congress to bring unloaded guns into the Capitol — which can even be loaded afterwards.
The gun was seen by Capitol Police screeners on the x-ray belt and stopped the process and secured the area. Washington D.C. Police were called and they arrested Shucard, who had apparently forgotten he had the gun in his bag.
While it is now legal due to the Heller decision to have a gun in one’s one and business in the District of Columbia, carrying a gun in D.C. without a D.C. gun license is a crime punishable for up to five years in prison, and the District does not recognize Virginia’s permits.
Shucard has pleaded not guilty and Marino has placed him on unpaid leave albeit has been supportive of him.
That a young man faces a criminal record and a long prison sentence for doing nothing wrong is a disgrace. The District must be made to recognize the legitimate rights of others and end its unnecessary and obtrusive policies designed to harass those who are inclined to leave others alone.
Shucard is not facing any federal charges.
