Judge Hoy has rocks in his head if he thinks that any US jurisdiction gives a rat's behind about his weapons prohibition! :)

You can bet that it will make a difference whenever he tries to travel anywhere internationally. And should he ever get into any trouble in the US and a weapon is even tangentally involved, it will be an issue. Even the US doesn't operate in a total vaccum.
