Long time reader and first time poster here.
Not sure if it has already been discussed here or not, if it has I apologize. I was wondering if Malik Nabers gun charge in 2022 is scaring anyone? I know he wasn’t charged with anything but the fact he was hanging out on bourbon street with a gun is a little worrisome. I absolutely love his talent and I’m sure the Giants will be digging into the situation and his character, just thought I would mention it for discussion. .
I also believe you should generally adhere to the state and local laws of the area, of course. From my reading, you can open carry in Louisiana, but if it's concealed, you need a permit. So that's where he went wrong.
Bad judgement by a 19 year old at the time. For me, it doesn't scare me off of him at all.
Toney’s problem has been that he isn’t good and can’t stay healthy.
So what? He told you he has been following for a long time and decided he wanted to start posting.
This is definitely something to seriously vet for any team looking to invest in Nabors.

Yeah, I do not think you can carry any hand gun under the age of 21 in any state, legally.

Good point.

I don’t believe that’s accurate. There are several states where an 18 year old can own a handgun. Alabama , Vermont and Virginia to name a few, and I believe there are several more.
Even crazier, in Texas an 18 year old can buy an AR - 15!

I take it you haven't been south of the Mason-Dixon line in a while there, Yank.
ROME - ( New Window )
Also let's not compare Nabers to Kadarius Toney. They couldn't be anymore different when it comes to their personality. Nabers is a good, quite & humble kid. Kadarius Toney is none of the those.

18 y/o can but "long" guns. Standard in all states (with permitting)

South Florida and I do have a carry permit. So there is that!
Hey, I can always be wrong, but I am pretty certain need to be 21 to but a handgun (maybe a federal requirement)

OMG! How scary! 17 year olds can go to war and use big scary guns too!
This is a red flag, I will always stand by that and for me, makes him undraftable.
Not saying to take him off the board or anything - but it is a serious issue that should be addressed.

Well different strokes. I’m all for the 2nd amendment and peoples rights to defend themselves, but I don’t think anyone (aside from the military or law enforcement) needs to or should be able to have that type of weapon, especially an 18 year old who isn’t even old enough to drink legally. Something about those two legal/illegal things just seem out of whack to me.
I was wrong on Louisiana, 18 y/o can own and carry a hand gun.

"That type of weapon" - a rifle? I have one. It's a lot safer than a handgun. My wife can barely handle it. My children? No way they can even lift the damn thing, let alone operate it. Handgun? Completely different story.

Not worth the effort explaining. People can believe whatever they want....

I know what type of weapon it is and I don’t want to hijack the thread or turn this political in any way. I respect your right to own it under the law, it’s just for me I don’t see the need for a semi automatic weapon like that being easily available to anyone, or the need for someone to have it. As I said, different strokes.

That's some crack detective work.
I guess you skipped the first line of the OP?

Then don't own one. Constitutional rights are there for us to exercise... or choose not to.

And his media interview there was underwhelming.
Yellow to red flags for me.

Well, federal law supercedes the state law in Louisiana on purchasing, so you have to be 21 to buy a handgun. So if he bought the gun, that was illegal. However, the state law for possessing allows an 18 year old to have a gun, so even though he couldn't legally buy the gun, apparently he can legal possess it. And as of this month, you don't need a permit to carry a concealed gun in Louisiana.
I think having a 19-year-old carrying a handgun during Mardi Gras in a crowded area full of intoxicated people goes beyond bad judgment. Toney's gun issues were concerning, but he never carried it into a crowd of partiers. He had it because there had been confrontations between his group from the football team and an outside group.
Nabers might have more talent that Harrison, and I love what he can do on the field. I wasn't sold on Odunze during the year, mostly because of the lack of top defenders in that conference. But I'll take Odunze's attitude every day of the week, even if he is a notch below Nabers athletically. That kid seems to have the drive to do whatever it takes to be great, and it doesn't look like he'll be a diva WR. I don't think the team that gets him will ever have to worry about him doing something stupid - on or off the field. That's a quality teams will covet when they are going to give a guy millions.

He's legally able to own & carry a gun in Louisiana. His only mistake was having it in his pocket and not having it on his hip.

Yes, and they can now conceal carry without a permit. But they can't buy a handgun. The federal law takes precendent over state law on that.
I'm not American, and I can see the difference.

You are thinking about AR 15 style rifles. You have to be 21 in all the states to own an AR 15 rifle. Though some states are trying to change that.
The good thing is that if he’s the only one of the big-3 available then a QB will be there, otherwise Rome/MHJ are options. It’s nice to be one the good end of the talent drop off at pick 6
In the real world. AR-15 round is .223 or 5.56. It is literally the same size round as a 22 but in a fancier looking rifle
Respectfully, I’m out.
