Homeland Security Chief Uses Glock as Laser Pointer, Panics Foreigners

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Safety is paramount, people. You never point a gun unless you intend to kill whatever you're aiming at. Now, let New York's top public safety official show you how to kill the **** out of that Powerpoint presentation and freak out our friends from Europe.

Via the Albany Times Union:

Jerome M. Hauer, Gov. Andrew Cuomo's director of homeland security, took out his handgun and used the laser sighting device attached to the barrel as a pointer in a presentation to a foreign delegation, according to public officials. It happened Oct. 24 in Albany at the highly secure state emergency operations center below State Police headquarters.
Hauer, pictured below, "was disabled by a stroke a few years ago and can be unsteady," the report continues. "He carries the loaded 9-millimeter Glock in a holster into state buildings, an apparent violation of state law barring state employees from bringing weapons to the workplace, several witnesses say."

Hey, the Second Amendment doesn't stop when your positive motor control is seriously degraded. If it did, old people would be completely helpless. And old people love guns almost as much as they Werthers Originals. Respect the right to keep and bear arms, and also to terrorize Swedes with the arms you bear:

...three Swedish emergency managers in the delegation were rattled when the gun's laser tracked across one of their heads before Hauer found the map of New York, at which he wanted to point.
Freedom isn't free, you lutfisk-gobbling Vikings. The next time terror comes to your shores, count on Jerome "Rutger" Hauer to have your back. And head and thighs and chest.

This is bordering on insanity, why anyone would think this is ok is beyond me. It is absolutely hilarious though

Welcome to America, expect this every time you go anywhere. You can't have one for awhile so just hope you don't get shot until you can.

This sounds like a story the Onion would run.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

It does and sadly it's real, even sadder, this guy was representing the US to these people from another country. Then he pointed a loaded weapon at one of their heads

It sounds like something you'd see in a spoof.

The article said that guy was disabled by a stroke and unsteady on his feet, yet he's allowed to lurch around with a loaded gun? There's a whole lot wrong with that situation.

'Murica, **** Yeah!

Yeeeehawww! Welcome to America partner! Thank God for God, guns and more guns! *shoots up in the air* Jesus was a gun owner!

It does seem like there is a gun fetish in the States.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
"It's my glock. I don't have a laser pen, so--"
"SO YOU'RE WAVING YOUR GUN AROUND?!"
"Yeah."
"WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL, MAN?!"
"No, it's okay. I bring my gun to work with me all the time."
"ARE YOU EVEN SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?!"
"No, it's kind of illegal, but I need to protect myself after I had that stroke. Now if you'll look at this map of New York, you'll see--"
"GOD, YOU GOT ME IN THE EYE WITH THE LASER!!"
"Look--" [starts swinging gun wildly as everyone else in the room ducks intermittently] "--this is America! Not wherever the hell you Swedes come from. It's my God given right to--"
[gun fires]
"MY LEG!"

Another "responsible gun owner." At least no one was killed this time.

Wow. That dude looks a lot like George Carlin.
