Attorney Howard Schreibenic said Carter is accused of having a gold-plated handgun in his luggage on a private plane. “There is no accusation that he ever fired, used it, used it or threatened to use it. There is no accusation that he is a dangerous person. This accusation is because he has been serious in the past. He was convicted of a felony, a possession of a firearm. “
His statement continues: “Although the Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the constitutional question, Justice Amy Connie Barrett recently wrote a dissenting appeal in which she stated that” there is absent evidence that she belongs to either a dangerous class or poses personal risks, permanently.
