Forgot he had a gun in the car

NEW YORK (AP) - February 25, 2011

His view may be influenced by the jury that let him off on gun charges.

The Florida man was stopped after making a right on red, which is illegal in the Big Apple.

An officer spotted a gun in the glove compartment, as Ryan's reached for his registration.

New York has some of the strictest gun laws in country.

Ryan said he had forgotten about his nine millimeter pistol.

The jury sided with Ryan, who says he was a "fish out of water" in the big city.
