Star Pulse
Jon Gosselin reportedly pulled a gun on a photographer trying to get pictures of him in rural Pennsylvania on Friday. The former reality TV star even fired off a warning shot to show he meant business.
Gosselin has found a new life as a waiter at the Black Dog restaurant in Beckersville, Penns., since leaving the spotlight, because his notoriety has made it "impossible" to find work. News of his new life broke earlier this week, and now the paparazzi have been heading to the area to get photos.
According to TMZ.com, a photographer attempted to follow Gosselin home from work on Friday to get pictures of the cabin he's been living in, but he pulled his gun, fired off a warning shot and chased her away in his car.
The photographer reportedly followed him onto private property, when he warned the woman she was trespassing before firing a shot.
Gosselin told TMZ on Saturday that he had every right legally to do what he did.
"I am licensed to carry a concealed handgun, which I withdrew and used to fire a warning shot AWAY from the paparazza" he said. "It is well within my rights under Pennsylvania law when someone is trespassing on private property."
The photographer is filing a police report.
My first reaction on hearing this story was who? But consider: Someone follows you off a main road onto private property. Does that not raise suspicions that bad things are coming?
ReplyDeleteIs that your justification of what he did?
DeleteDid he own the property? Someone trying to get a picture even against your will, is not a deadly threat. Aren't their laws against firing a gun off in that County? Oh wait, we are going by NRA Greg's laws, not real laws.
ReplyDeleteOn your own land and outside city limits, it's your choice. He can say he was target shooting. She had no right to be there.
DeleteI thought the same thing. Usually "warning shot" is an illegal discharge, though if shooting is legal on your property, that could be an out. Though by him calling it a warning shot, he is expressly saying he was not target shooting, and instead using it in a threatening manor.
DeleteUnequivocal condemnation is all that's called for, not all the bullshit you guys are throwing around.
DeletePeople should respect private property.
