Noble Not Guilty Of Disrupting Public Gathering
BEAVER (KDKA) ―


Hours after asking a judge to send them home because they were "frazzled," a Beaver County jury found John Noble not guilty of disrupting a public gathering when he brought a gun to a campaign rally for President Barack Obama.

The judge also found Noble not guilty of disorderly conduct.

Noble was accused of causing a disturbance by bringing a gun to the rally in Beaver County last year.

Though he had proper permits to carry the firearm, a trooper arrested him for disrupting a public gathering.

During the trial, Noble testified that he wanted to educate people about the right to carry firearms after Obama characterized Pennsylvanians as clinging to guns and religion.

After less than five hours of deliberations yesterday, the judge sent jurors home last night without a verdict.

The judge said it was the first time that a jury asked to go home because they were "frazzled."

Deliberations resumed this morning; and about two hours later, the jury reached their decision.

Had he been convicted of the third-degree misdemeanor, Noble could have faced as much as one year in jail and fines of up to $2,500.

He never should have been arrested.  It should never have come to trial.  It shouldn't have taken an non biased jury that long to aquit him.  The whole thing was liberal antigun  anti religion BULLSHIT

I wonder how much it cost him to defend himself against a charge that should have never been filed.  Perhaps he should sue for false arrest.

He probably will, also civil rights violations and false arrest.

There is some sanity in Penn. He pushed the envelope, and got away with it. I would have marched right over to the police station and "politely" requested to give me my *&^%$# pistol please.....

If it were Chicago, Newark, L.A., Baltimore, he'd be getting 3 hots and a cot....
