Marine arrested for carrying Indiana-registered handgun in New York made 'honest mistake,' attorney says

A third-generation Marine arrested in New York City after trying to check his Indiana-registered handgun with security made an "honest mistake" and should not face prison time, his attorney said Monday.
Ryan Jerome, a 28-year-old former private first class whose father and grandfather were Marines, faces three and half years in prison after being arrested Sept. 27 for carrying a .45-caliber Ruger that was legally registered in his home state.

Jerome, of West Bend, Ind., had approached security officers at the Empire State Building to check the weapon before he was taken into custody, according to his attorney, who said it was the man's first visit to New York City.
"Ryan Jerome is neither a criminal nor someone with an illegal gun," his attorney, Mark Bederow, said in an interview with FoxNews.com.
"It’s plainly obvious to anyone who looks at the facts and circumstances of this case that he made an honest mistake and was looking to follow the New York laws and be responsible," Bederow said. "He tried to be careful – that’s the irony here."
