    Sounds like an out of towner was the one with the gun (since they were staying in an illegal airbnb). Unfortunately our tough gun laws can't stop someone from driving over state lines with their weapons.

    Absolutely right, but he should see the max jail time for the offense, tough gun laws only count if you actually enforce them.

    That would be a beer service dog. Sit and Stay Dog Rental Service. On our walk this morning I found a full undamaged can of White Claw Hard Seltzer Ruby Grapefruit. Dare I try it?

    Until someone saves a spot for a buddy who’s cutting in line.

    Or the Brewery messes up and people don't get the beer they lined up for.

    Someone was staying at an Airbnb right by Other Half on the weekend of their anniversary beer release... and was savvy enough to throw a White Claw at the people on line? If this person wasn't also there for the beer release, and the story isn't a work of fiction, then there are decent odds that it was a beer blogger who uses "humor," parody and confrontation to create fodder for his sensational blog. :slight_smile: Either that or some serious cosmic misalignment.

    Lol this Gun story is so mindblowing

    A) who thinks it’s a good idea to get an airbnb on garnet st.

    B) who thinks it’s a good idea to antagonize idiots who are lining up nearly 24 hours for beer

    C) who the fuck shames line lyfers while drinking white claw

    D) who the fuck drinks white claw

    E) who throws white claws at girls

    F) who brags about having a gun inside their airbnb in one of the toughest anti gun states in the union

    G) who then brandishes that gun to idiot line lifers as some sort of tough guy medal

    H) who the fuck goes back into their airbnb after committing a felony and acts like nothing happens

    Fuck guns. I hope this dude gets locked up for a couple years. Loser.

    Just wait until OH starts making their own hard seltzer All Green Claw Daydream, then it'll be accepted by the line crowd.

    2nd Amendment is a bitch like the 1st, but this guy is an idiot... This City don't give a fuck about civil rights. He's going away for a long time, they'll lock you for having a gun in a lock box with an out of state cw permit.

    I think it’s a win win all round. NRA boy goes to jail. Bad publicity for white claw. Beer geek / chair boi wets his panties.

    Damn imagine your life being such a drab that you generalize an entire population based on the actions of a few? Glad I don’t have to live amongst someone like that.

    See how that goes?

    In all seriousness, the majority of people who line up at events like this aren’t native NYers but are from out of state or recent transplants from other locations. 75% or more of the ppl on line at OH are from NJ or CT. I’m a native NYer and I absolutely despise lining up for anything.
