I certainly agree that he is a moron. I can't figure out what (or if) he was thinking:
1) He has a carry permit, but didn't know (or care) it wasn't valid in Delaware.
We live smack in between the NJSSR and the People's Republic of Maryland, so maybe we have a higher awareness of places we aren't welcome...
2) He obviously wasn't planning to hurt anyone...
If he was, he would have chosen the .45, right? And, he would already have done the damage before the police arrived.
3) He had drugs in the car.
Sure, it was just marijuana, which arguably should be legal, but it ain't legal... and those of us who carry generally show a heightened respect for, and attention to, laws that might get us a ride in the back of a Police Interceptor.
4) He let someone see his gun.
I always say that having a concealed firearm is like having two penises... in that, if you flash either one of them in public, the cops will be called.
All in all, the facts do add up to "genius."
