Cardinals Player Cited for Improperly Carrying Gun
January 24th, 2007 @ 6:24pm by KTAR Newsroom
A player for the Arizona Cardinals got in a little trouble with the law.
Around 2 a.m. Friday, a Gilbert police officer pulled Karlos Dansby over for going 10 miles over the speed limit and not having a license plate.

Sgt. Andrew Duncan said the officer asked if Dansby had a gun. Dansby said yes, but that gun was not in a holster and not in the glove compartment. That's illegal.

"It's a rather technical manner of how to carry a gun properly within a vehicle, and the law is very cumbersome and not everyone understands it," he said.

Duncan stressed that Dansby was polite and cooperative through the whole traffic stop.

"He did state, up front, that he did have a gun in there and unfortunately, he didn't have it stored in the vehicle as the law requires and he was issued a citation at the scene for improperly carrying that gun," said Duncan.

Dansby now has a court date on a misdemeanor weapons charge.

That's a first but unfortunate for one of the cleanest organizations in sports. Maybe now we have a little more insight as to why Denny was so down on Dansby....

Doesn't sound too bad as long as the gun was liscensed and legally owned. This is pretty mild compared to the other stuff going around in the league, and it shouldn't have an effect on Dansby getting resigned.

Oh please, he wasn't arrested and didn't even do anything that serious. So, what, he was polite and the officer said it is a common error made by people.

Yeah that's true..... I'll give KD the benefit of the doubt, and it's great that we almost never read about our getting into trouble.

If that is the worst thing we have to deal with, I'll be fine. Generally a good group from all our AZ teams. Proud to be a fan.

It didn't say where the gun was located. I don't think it has to be holstered as long as it is not concealed (under the seat, covered with something, or under his coat, etc.). He may have had it on the seat covered by something. He obviously was not trying to hide it intentionally because he told the officer he had it, which is the first rule if you have a gun in the car.

He probably had it under his seat and thought it was ok to be there. The cop said himself that it was a common mistake and he only gave Dansby a ticket.

Not sure why he wouldn't have license plates.That's odd to say the least.Not a big deal though and not a true Bengal.

Was he heading for the traffic camera corridor on the 101?
