New York National Rifle Association official barred from carrying a gun

An order of protection stemming from a domestic disturbance at his Long Island home in 2010 prevents Richard D’Alauro, the NRA’s field representative for the city and its suburbs, from carrying the weapons. 'Years of domestic violence' make his former wife fear his ability to acquire guns again in the future.

******************

The former wife of a top official with the National Rifle Association in New York says that “years of domestic violence” caused a judge to bar the NRA field representative from carrying a gun.

The New York Daily News on Wednesday reported that police has confiscated an arsenal of 39 firearms from the home of Richard D’Alauro in 2010 because of a confrontation with his then-wife at their Long Island home.

Suffolk County records showed that authorities filed misdemeanor charges against Richard D’Alauro for assault and endangering a child after the incident on Sept. 1, 2010. At the time, police confiscated 39 weapons from the NRA official’s home, including at least 16 handguns.

Richard D’Alauro later pleaded guilty to a non-misdemeanor harassment charge after admitting that tried to “harass, annoy or alarm” his wife with “physical contact.” Due to a protection order, D’Alauro cannot purchase or own a firearm until Oct. 3, 2013.

1. He should be banned from owning a gun FOREVER.

IMHO. Wife of a life NRA member. These things really worry me living in "gun household".

2. So on Oct 13 he will turn into one of those good guys

with a gun. He is exactly the type of person who should not be permitted to own guns.

3. Unless he is "cured" of voilent tendencies he should never own a weapon.

4. Another crazy NRA gun cultist - NRA Prez Keene's son convicted of using a gun in road rage incident.

I guess NRA cares little about background of employees. They are good, as long as they love guns, are capable of lying and obfuscation, promote guns to everyone they meet, etc.

5. Lust of weaponry is an indicator of potential violence.

Doesn't take much to put it into action.

6. One whole year without his

tool(s)

How sad.

7. Apparently, Rickie is a Really Tough Guy

"In an interview, Maribeth D’Alauro — who has multiple sclerosis and walks with a cane — declined to detail the confrontation with her former husband, but she said that assault “is an accurate description.”"

Asshole.
