Taylor Swift’s “Boyfriend” Wants a Gun for African Trip

Robert Farago - comments No comments

“Law enforcement sources in New Hampshire tell TMZ that a guy was at a police station for voluntary questioning on an unrelated case when he bragged he was [Taylor Swift’s] BF. What’s more cops say he went as far as showing them texts with a ‘Taylor Swift’ as the recipient.” Well now . . .

There’s nothing wrong with texting Taylor Swift is there? Nothing illegal about it. Unless you make some kind of threat . . .

Cops got suspicious when he started asking how many states he can drive through with a concealed carry weapons permit. He also told them he wanted a gun to protect Taylor in Africa. It’s unclear why he thinks Taylor will be in Africa.

It’s unclear why the man in questioning didn’t know about the safe passage provision of the Firearm Owners Protection Act. And why thought he could bring a gun into a shithole Africa legally.

What is clear: famous people need armed protection, whether its concealed carry or armed security or both.

So why are so many — indeed most — celebs pro gun control?  Mind you, Ms. Swift has been laudably silent on the subject, despite calls for her to speak out.

FWIW, her California security team can’t carry at her $17m Rhode Island retreat; the Ocean State doesn’t recognize any other state’s carry permit. Maybe I shouldn’t have written that . . .

  1. The key to your defense is to get your lawyer going on your defense as soon as possible…..controlling the flow of information is critical to any defense and ACLDN will get your lawyer or they can pick one for you if you are out of town and they will get there right away no matter what time of day or night at least that is what they tell me…. in my home town the closest ACLDN attorney(s) is/are about 2 hours away as there are no experienced self-defense attorneys close by being in a somewhat rural area…..that can be a lot of time being interrogated by cops….in that scenario after telling the cops your name , showing them your CCW permit, showing them the “perp” (who may be lying in a pool of blood) and the weapon he/she used and pointing out any witnesses ….after that…shut the F**K up….because if you keep running your mouth you will incriminate yourself…..the police and the media are NOT YOUR FRIENDS.

  2. I would be interested to see a side by side comparrison of the 700 PCR to the 700 Tactical Chasis. Let me know if you know of one. Quite a price difference in the two guns. Is it justified?
    700 Tactical Chasis $2,900.00 MSRP
    700 PCR $1,199.00 MSRP

  3. For a prepared human the mind and body are your true wepon, everything else is an opportunity or tool. Killing always has a cost. I believe that is why many combat warriors choose non violent resolutions if they can.

  4. If this guy’s for real, you have to wonder about the good Ms. Swift’s penchant for choosing male companions who have the IQ of ice-cubes.

  5. The only thing that matters is that these brave heroes go home safely at the end of their shift. It should be a honor to be gunned down by people who make Superman look like a sniveling coward – you made a god-amongst-men fear for his/her life, and that is no mean feat. If we have to sacrifice every single non-badged man, woman, and child in the nation to keep our police free from fear, it is a price we should willingly pay.

  6. It was a demand that Americans turn in their weapons and black powder, that caused the war to start between the british and the American colonies. The government in England has not changed in 270 years.

    Im so glad America is free from the UK.

  7. Only one of these things can stop a rampaging mass-murderer. Guess which one Moms Demand Action wants to ban?

    That’s right, they’d rather see your child dead.

  8. I’ve seen plenty of black bear in the Wekiva Springs area of Central Florida. They’ve ranged between 150-300lbs and they’re pretty skittish even with cubs. They usually haul ass and climb up a pine tree if they see ya.

    That being said the bear roam into city limits to plumber trash cans are a different bread and can be aggressive. They get in trash and go for a swim in pools. They’re not at scared of people. It’s become a frequent problem.

    To stop the problem The state opened up a bear season in Central Florida recently via a lottery and hunters bagged about 300 bear deeper in the woods. After the season all the problem bear remained in burbs like nothing happened. Apparently they need to open up a season within city limits. I carry a 9mm and have a 45-70 guide gun ready to go if they decide to take a swim in my pool….

  9. Excerpt:

    Definition:

    Qualified immunity shields public officials from damages for civil liability so long as they did not violate an individual’s “clearly established” statutory or constitutional rights. The immunity is available to state or federal employees, including law enforcement officers, who are performing their jobs.Apr 17, 2013

  10. We have lots of bears here. Development continues to put these homes in what were thick woods. This sort of thing is inevitable. More and more people every day. It’s becoming Ft. Lauderdale West .

  11. Biss is apparently a mathematician, with a PhD from MIT (and an undergrad from Harvard). And yet, he supports this boneheaded policy with a grin on his face.

    It will never cease to amaze me how people who are so smart, can be so frickin’ dumb.

  12. I got hassled by TSA at Logan Intl because…..I held my creditcard style US passport between my teeth whilst getting out my boarding pass. “I don’t want your damned germs….” But the fascist fucktard was wearing blue nitrile prostate exam gloves.

  13. So what is the definition of a FUDD really? someone who want restrictions to certain people, mentally ill, criminals etc? Someone who wants restrictions on certain types of weapons, do we all get nukes and mini guns? Or a combination of both?

    I lean heavily to the more freedom the better side of the argument but given the full spectrum of the argument someone I am sure to someone I am a FUDD (I don’t think we all need nukes). Moreover I think more is gained in civil discourse with fellow citizens then shutting them down immediately as a traitor, idiot or fool. I have friends across the spectrum who I deeply disagree with on core issues but realize that they have the right to express(vote) their opinion and that I do not help my cause by cutting off contact.

  14. The right of Nebraskans to regulate what they wish? There is no such right, nor can there be, since your neighbor on your right and your neighbor on your left would have equal rights to regulate any aspect of your life whatsoever, and they may not agree.

    No, what you’re talking about is the power of local government to regulate whatsoever they please, in essence to have unchecked power. I shouldn’t have to explain why this is incompatible with a free country or the rule of law.
