#DrunkJudge denied purchase of a shotgun

[Deplorable Me]

Watching the video, she was drunk and attempted to buy a shotgun not at one Dick's but TWO!

Isn't the real felony here the DWI in driving to the stores?

WTH guys it was just a shotgun .. LMAO .. her pay raise of of a few grand is fine .. i only get like 25 cents a hour at the most at my job .. and i fix things so you all Dem's n Libs can fucking eat every day ..

where is her arrest again for the denied nics check

 

[Cleck]

I agree. If she was drunk at the time, Dick's did nothing wrong. If she wasn't and was denied because of a previous DWI, that's wrong.

Some here are fine with that in regards to being denied just for the sole act of a previous DWI. That's wrong and people like that are one of the reasons we are in the place we are in today.

Wonder if you're allowed to use common knowledge about a person to deny them a firearm purchase. Since she's done such a good job of staying front and center in the news, everyone who has heard of her knows that she has a drinking problem, can't work because of "anxiety", and she is prone to making stupid/rash decisions on a moment's notice. Personally, that would be enough for me to deny her. Am I wrong here?

As a private business owner or a private person working for a private business owner, you can deny service to anyone you want. So you can use common knowledge.

With that said, you can't believe everything in the media. She may not be a drunk even though the media says she is. Just like they say that the old man who shoots at beer cans in his backyard and cleans his gun on his porch when school kids get let out so that they don't walk on his grass is crazy.

Maybe she wanted a shotgun for home protection because people don't like her. Maybe she really isn't a drunk but had a bender due to depression. You don't know.

If she appeared totally lucid at the gun counter, I'd sell her the gun. If she wasn't lucid and appeared under the influence, I'd tell her that I'd have to refuse the sale. She can come back later or go somewhere else.

She is well known to those of us who live in monroe county. Trust us, she's a drunk. Her troubles started a year or two ago when she crashed her car on the way to work and refused to take a breathalyzer test. The state trooper on the scene said she smelled of alcohol. Her problems with alcohol since then have been well documented. The irony, of course, is as a judge she oversaw those who were arrested for drunk driving.

 

[Cleck]

It's public knowledge though that she can't work due to anxiety.

Like @tirwin1 said though, we here in MoCo are well acquainted w/ her and her bullshit. Almost every story about her has been how she's been spotted drinking somewhere, she's going to willingly violate her parole and drink the second she can, she said she used some sort of skin cream that registered large amounts of alcohol in her system on whatever the hell she was wearing, has had other people blow into her breathalyzer device needed to start her car, etc. I don't want someone like her w/ a gun.

Is that irrefutable evidence that she is always drunk? Should people who drink not have the ability to protect themselves?

 

[Marine Cpl]

If I got caught for DWI once in my life and the public saw me hanging out in front of Hooks and Ladders (my local pub in my town) every day after work at 6pm, does that mean that I shouldn't have the right to own a gun?

 

[Cleck]

If it was only drinking, then yes, she should be able to protect herself, granted she's not a stumbling drunk all the time. I enjoy a cool beverage from time to time, I'm perfectly capable of owning firearms. They STILL haven't killed anyone. It's her other issues that I and others agree on as to why she shouldn't have them.

 

[Cleck]

Btw, nice rank. Just noticed

 

[camper4lyfe]

FFL's have always had discretion when selling. If something is off with the buyer, the seller can deny the purchase before NICS is even run.

This "judge" has shown time and time again that she has zero ability to make rational decisions. Whether she was drunk at the time of the attempted purchase or not, her record over the past couple years is reason enough to anyone that pays attention.

Woman believed to be Leticia Astacio tried to buy a gun on Monday

I've heard locally here that she was liquored up in the store and got belligerent with the staff. She was most likely talking smack as well. Listen to her Facebook Live video in this link. I would absolutely applaud any gun store employee who used their discretion in not selling someone a gun who was inebriated and talking shit.

This is a woman whos daughter screamed "Fuck You!!" at the judge at her DWI trial. Who flat out told the judge she fully intended to violate her probation as soon as she was released from her 30 days. Who is an arrogant POS that thinks the law doesn't apply to her.

I didn't vote for this ding dong, I don't live in the city.

What a full blown (and taxpayer overpaid) whackjob! The news article says she is prohibited from purchasing a firearm due to a prior conviction? Then, her social media post where she claims to be a "licensed carrier"? And she claims she didn't try to buy a gun? WTF?

Get her off the bench, and off the public payroll ASAP! Enough!

She says her sister is licensed (CCW), but that she herself has never touched one and doesn't even like them. But she also said she has never been in a Dick's, despite the Dick's employees having received her license as proof of identity.

She is prohibited from possessing a firearm as a term of her probation.
After the arrest, she went on social media and ranted, claiming that it was her sister that attempted to purchase the shotgun. Her sister does in fact have a permit, and has admitted such on social media. Her sister also stated that she was NOT the person who attempted to purchase the shotgun.

It sounds like her sister is starting to get sick of her shit.

 

[tirwin1]

If she is convicted of the felony charge perhaps she can get sober in prison. This has become a long running farce.

Here is whats going to happen, she will be given a plea deal, reduce the charge to a minor misdemeanor, resign her judgeship and she will be able to stay in the NYS Bar. Refuse the plea deal, Go with the felony charge and she could lose everything, including her license to practice law.

My guess is, she will take a plea deal, resign as a judge, she will continue to drink, but she will have to open her own law practice because no one is going to hire a known drunk

Resign and give up the $173,000 a year gravy train? You may indeed be correct but there has been no evidence to date that she knows how to make a good decision.

thats great, because if she did, in fact, misrepresent herself on form 4473, or she lied to the judge, both are felonies. If proven she did these things, she will lose that nice $184,000 job (she just get an $12,000 rise) she will be removed from the NYS Bar and she will be in jail for a while. It all works for me

 

[dwa12479]

There's no way in hell that this POS resigns willingly. I'd love to see her plead not guilty, get convicted, be disbarred, and do the perp walk (again...) to jail.

I agree with one exception, no law practice. After all the sleazy deals are met, she will run for judgeship again and win, Rottenchester.

I hope she lied on the 4473. That’s FEDERAL, and they don’t screw around. She’ll be done.
