Marvin Harrison shockingly owns more registered guns

Harrison’s being unfairly targeted by the media and possibly the police.

This espn article, which is somehow the same one referenced above, explains why he was pulled over and why he was searched.

Here are some quotes.

The 37-year-old former Pro Bowl receiver was driving the wrong way down the one-way street in a Cadillac Escalade when the patrolman stopped him along with the driver of a second car that was trailing him, the sources said.

This is clearly not harassing.

According to the law enforcement sources, the patrolman saw Harrison place something that appeared to be a weapon in the seat console of his car. When the officer asked him to step out of the vehicle, Harrison produced a car registration and a permit to carry a weapon, both of which were in order. When he was asked whether he had a weapon, however, he answered no, the sources said.

Hence, probable cause.

At that point, the sources added, the officer said that he had probable cause to search the vehicle and found a weapon in the seat console.

So, it was confiscated because he lied. If someone has proper permits, and still lies about having a weapon with them, I could understand an officer being suspicious and taking it.

It is definitely true that this does not mean anything with regards to the earlier story about the shooting, but Marvin sure looks to be in the wrong on this one. I suppose you could try and argue that the cop lied about everything, but then you would just be picking sides in spite of the information we have. I don’t really see how we could defend Marvin on this one. He seems to be in the wrong. I mean, unless you ingore all the evidence given in the article. Then I could see how someone could come to the conclusion that Marvin was being jobbed.

Crap writing. But he is a Colt so the world is against him. The people who reply to what you write offer better quality in evaluating the situation. And the race card…only someone who needs to see it could interpret it from the yahoo article. Probably a racist interpretation by you.

hell, every car in that area has an african american driving it…

As a firearm lover myself…one thing never to do is deny you have a weapon. If I get stopped coming back from the range or hunting the first thing I do when handing over my documents is to tell the officer I have an unloaded gun in the vehicle.

Anyway, this is a non story…

If the weapons testing proves the gun has never been used in a crime, the way it was obtained would be less detrimental to Marvin legally. The thinking on this is if Marvin willing submitted the gun, then they would expect it to be “clean”. But, if police confiscate the gun in a “routine” stop, then the gun comes up “clean, not associated with any crime” the police have ultimately cleared one of Marvin’s weapons as being the murder weapon. So, contrary to how this looks, it could actually be good for Marvin.

that he had a gun since he had the right documentations, but like many have said; this is a non story.

p.s.

I love that picture of Marvin!

 .. and the cop saw this when? Unless you are standing at a window looking in, all you would see was someone’s body moving as if putting something in a console beside the seat. That just doesn’t read right to me.

  I’d also wonder if marvin had simply forgotten he had the gun in the car. I know at the canadian border it is a regular problem that american tourists get stopped and get in big trouble because they forget they have their gun in the car until they are searched and canadian border guards find it.

 from philly.com:

The weapon might be test-fired by investigators to determine whether it may have been used in two prior shootings linked to Harrison, the source noted.

They’re still trying to fuck with Harrison…smh

Ugh, I don’t even know why I read those comments. Those idiots were saying crap like, “Marvin is sick in the head.” “you can’t take da hood out da brutha”, but this has to be the worse: “Harrison makes Vick look like a choirboy!”

Really, Marvin Harrison make Michael Vick look like a choirboy?! Unlike Vick, Harrison hasn’t been charged with a single charge. Unlike Vick, Marvin was not doing anything illegal like getting caught with marijuana in a airport, which led to the discovery of an infamous dog fighting ring.

This is another reason to hate the people of Philly…

Like most of Yahoo’s non-email services, it’s a center for petty and childish gossip.

then I’ll let it go because this really isn’t the forum…

but didn’t this site use Hitler/Nazi imagery a while back to make a point? Just sayin…

Most people dream of making it big so they can leave their run-down, crime infested neighborhoods in search of safer surroundings. Marvin does the opposite….

If I was tied to an alleged shooting in a bad part of Philly, yet I had millions of dollars (to go wherever I wanted to go) and all other accounts of me pointed towards me being an all around good guy, I would run, not walk, as far away from that part of town as soon as possible and never go back. Marvin, however, is routinely spotted in the same neighborhood where it all went down with guns in his car and shows no signs of moving on from it.

My question is WHY?

Maybe it was because he was really quiet, but I always thought he and Manning were very classy guys. After reading the article (which btw, I don’t really see racism in), this is just yet another mishap in Harrison’s post-playing career.

Things just do not look great for Marvin, legally.

It could all be a bunch of coincidences, but we know what Dungy used to say about that. (once is a single occurrence, twice is a coincidence, three times is a trend). 88’s gun seemingly WAS used in the first shooting. That right there is a crime according to my understanding of PA law, yet no charges filed. I may have read misinterpretations of that law. 88 weirdly claims the gun was in his possession at the time. That suggests either he was involved or someone close to him (with access to his armory) was. Or he’s lying. Truly odd.

That’s incident #1, a tenuous connection between 88 and a shooting.

1. is the actual killing of Dixon. So far 88 has not been linked, unless testing the 9 mil proves to be that link. Dixon was an ex-con and a killer, plus it’s a rough ‘hood, so there’s plenty of suspects I assume.

1. is the current item—routine traffic stop, semi-routine weapon confiscation. If the gun is cleared by ballistics, then I’d say it’s really only #1—a one-time weird event. But if the gun is linked to #2, then it’s a 3-event trend, and not a good one.

I’m officially concerned and prepared to hear the worst about one my gidiron heroes. But hoping for the best.

I’m sure its in the rulebooks somewhere.

You really are grasping at straws at this point. If you honestly think Harrison is a saint after all this, you are truly blinded by homerism. And everyone that says he is a scary guy is also racist? He is scary. He is a gun collector that may have shot someone and strangled a ballboy. I’d call that scary.

And it looks like, he is just as stupid – he kept the second gun from the first shooting and it was the gun, the police confiscated. Report on PFT.
