Republican Governor Candidate Fires Borrowed Guns Despite Probation
Won’t someone just kill this party?
SACRAMENTO — Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, Republican candidate for governor and outspoken gun-rights advocate, appears to have violated his probation agreement while firing borrowed weapons at an indoor gun range last week.
The San Bernardino County lawmaker was placed on probation for three years after taking a loaded gun to Ontario International Airport in his carry-on briefcase in 2012.
The terms of his plea deal say Donnelly cannot “personally use, own or possess any firearm that is not registered to him,” according to court records.
However, Donnelly used two borrowed handguns and a rifle while practicing shooting on a campaign stop in Santa Cruz County last Thursday.
