Moments after Luigi Mangione was handcuffed at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, a police officer searching his backpack found a loaded gun magazine wrapped in a pair of underwear.
The discovery, recounted in court Monday as Mangione fights to keep evidence out of his New York murder case, convinced police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that he was the man wanted in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan five days earlier.
Wait, doesn’t everyone bring a loaded ghost gun to McDonald’s?
Bullets in a magazine is NOT a loaded gun. The magazine must be in the gun for it to be considered loaded.
Yup! Pretty much everywhere it’s common knowledge and many times a fact in court cases that if the loaded magazine is not in the firearm then the firearm is not loaded.
Just goes to show how many of these news outlets are bending the facts to make him look guilty. Something I’m sure his legal team will point out and already have a few times.
