What Kinds Of Gun Does John Mack Own, Bring To Business-Related Meetings?

By

If you’ve been keeping up with your firearms news, you probably learned over the weekend that Morgan Stanley chairman John Mack counts himself among the 37,000-plus people licensed to own up to 25 handguns in New York. And not just in his home in Westchester where he might need protection from the Chappaqua riffraff– Mack has permission to bring his gun into the city. Naturally, this revelation brings up a couple of questions.

First off, does he bring a gun with him every time he comes into NYC, or just for meetings he thinks might get particularly heated? Did he have a gun with him the time he told Tim Geithner to go fuck himself and if yes, how close was he to whipping it out?

Second, and more importantly, what kind of heat do we think Mack is packing? A six-shooter? A sawed-off shotgun? A FN Five-SeveN? A lipstick gun? And how about if- and we’re not saying he does but if- he’s also got some unlicensed weapons, what’s included in that collection? A musket? A Red Ryder BB Gun? And does his hand count as a weapon, as it well should?

    He always carries a revolver (and a ski mask for some reason) when he does withdrawals at the BofA 41st/7th branch. He says they know him so there is no need to use a paper slip.

    He carries a kid-sized training rifle from the 1800s – he saw it on Pawn Stars and just had to have it.

    JM: I know what you’re thinking. “Did he fire six shots or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I really want to complain about that bonus being “shitty” and leave, or do I want to shut my mouth and keep working like the little peon you are.
