WVisHome 0 Posted June 10, 2013 http://fxn.ws/19X4LiL Authorities tell MyFoxNY.com the two cars pulled over to the side of the interstate after the alleged road rage incident, and Harvey and his passenger allegedly got out of his vehicle and approached Walker. Walker then allegedly exited his car, brandished his gun and announced he was a police officer. Harvey continued to approach Walker allegedly in an aggressive manner, and Walker fired at Harvey, fatally wounding him, MyFoxNY.com reports. Troopers charged Walker on Sunday with second degree murder and manslaughter, and he remains in a Maryland jail on $1 million bond. This will be interesting to follow. I don't know MD's SD laws.... I wonder if the manslaughter charges will stick.It's extremely sad when people get so pissed off when driving they resort to violence.Also...what are the laws governing interstate transport of loaded firearms for LEO's?

BlueLineFish 615 Posted June 10, 2013 In regards to LEO transport laws as long as you are active LEO you can carry in any state as long as you have your ID. Even hollowpoints are allowed since its duty ammo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackDaWack 2,895 Posted June 10, 2013 I read the more informative report off NJ.com earlier.... said He shot the guy from a good distance away. Edit: Trying to track down the article but either it was changed or i can't find it.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunguy1960 2 Posted June 10, 2013 What I found incredible was that he had his wife and three kids in the car with him, I think the god complex kicked into overdrive, and being from out of state was just pissing in someone elses pool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jrfly3006 42 Posted June 10, 2013 Dont you guys know that news articles released the day after an incident always tell the full story and truths of what happened?..Remember when that story first broke about those kids at Duke..

RUTGERS95 890 Posted June 10, 2013 regardless, no one should be shooting anyone over being pissed while driving. No need to wait for full story as that is all that matters. Pretty sure the arrest and 1mm bond infer shooter is wrong here especially given he's leo. plenty of info out there on this now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know about God complex but am more concerned his kids had to experience this. My heart goes out to those kids as this can scar them in many ways and will undoubtedly change their lives.

All of a sudden we take the media's report at face value. But when they report a "mass shooting" we immediately condemn their accuracy and coverage.....

H.M. Murdock 0 Posted June 10, 2013 Sounds like a perfect chance to play "Six Degrees of Charles Mainor"! Here are some more pieces to the story: "According to court documents, a witness told investigators that the confrontation started when Joseph Walker's minivan cut off Joseph Harvey's car. Harvey's passenger, Adam Pidel, told police that Walker pointed a gun at them as the vehicles swerved at each other." http://www.myfoxny.com/story/22543082/fatal-road-rage-shooting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJKen 23 Posted June 10, 2013 I think there are a lot of facts missing here. How do we know what thee xact exchange between the two was? I dont see this as the LEO bashing event that some do. How would any of you with this mentality like to be judged by info fromt he media? We all know how accurate the media is with firearms related fatalities!

MD is anti-2A, and that would be my guess for the high bail amount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My bs meter is off the chart for that statement. I wouldn't be surprised that he still approached if he was overwhelmed by the red mist. All depends when each party was peaking in anger. Actor 1 could have waved gun and regained control afterwards, "what was I thinking?". Actor 2 could have lost control once they saw the gun waved at them, "not in my town!", and died while still under adrenalin surge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soju 153 Posted June 10, 2013 I've seen enough rough rage videos of people seemingly trying to kill people because they got cut off to know nothing good ever comes from confronting someone over an incident. I don't know what it is about driving that turns people into irrational lunatics sometimes. No idea what happened here, but clearly getting involved in a road rage incident is a terrible idea.
