12-Year-Old Arrested for Open-Carrying AR-15 in Philadelphia

Don't know what Carson is/was thinking, but I am thinking it's kind of hard to be charged with carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle when one is walking.

How the 12-year-old Northeast Philly boy ended up toting an assault-style rifle

The police report and the image it conjured quickly went viral on social media: A 12-year-old Bridesburg boy wielding a semiautomatic assault-style rifle during a neighborhood beef on the streets of Northeast Philadelphia.

Police on Tuesday said that weapon, and a second retrieved from the boy’s 19-year-old brother on Saturday, appeared to have been purchased legally.

Still, both brothers were in custody, facing charges in a dispute that ended without violence but raised concerns about how a preteen ended up armed with an AR-15-style rifle — a weapon that has stoked the national debate about kids, guns, and violence.

“We’ve had 12-year-olds arrested with guns” before, said Lt. Dennis Rosenbaum of Northeast Detectives. But this case, he said, is “just an odd story all around.”

According to Rosenbaum, the incident unfolded like this:

About 6:30 p.m. Saturday, 19-year-old Michael Mitchell took his mother’s handgun, went across the 2200 block of Kennedy Street with his younger brother, and knocked on a neighbor’s door after some kind of dispute with a teen who lived there.

The teenager’s father opened the door, saw Mitchell with a handgun, and asked what he was doing. Mitchell then yelled to his younger brother: “Go get my gun!”

The 12-year-old, whom police aren’t identifying by name, grabbed his brother’s Diamondback 15 rifle from their home, came back outside, and pointed it at his neighbors, Rosenbaum said. The gun was loaded with about 20 rounds of ammunition.

Neighbors called 911.

When 15th District Officer Krzysztof Wrzesinski, who was on patrol nearby, drove up, the two brothers put their guns in a car on the block and complied with the officer.

“He took them into custody, got the guns,” Rosenbaum said.

I don't think anyone here was seriously bashing the PPD for this case.

Okay, by putting the guns in a car on the block just prior to complying with the officer they thus violated section 6106.1, no loaded guns in a vehicle. Shaky, but it just might fly.
