Two New York Mets, David Wright and Carlos DelGado applied for gun permits. Both were granted permits to keep handguns in their homes, but DelGado was denied a permit to carry a gun.
Shawn Green, while with the Mets, had also applied for, and been denied of a permit to carry a handgun.
Now I understand that these men are in the public eye, and want to protect their homes and families. The thing I don’t get is why would DelGado need to carry a gun? I know he had a difficult first half of the season last year, but not to the point where his life was going to be threatened. This is also strange behavior of someone who is so opposed to our war with Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as US military presence in Vieques, Puerto Rico.
With Wright, it would be believed that he has an understanding of guns, with his father being a policeman in his native Virginia. This is not to say that DelGado doesn’t have an understanding or experience with guns, just that it seems a bit hypocritical to apply for a gun if you are so against violence.
