Gun charges against a state lawmaker might be resolved in time for him to rejoin the Legislature, his attorney said Tuesday.

Rep. Frederick L. Wintle, R-Garland, is accused of pulling a loaded gun on a stranger in a parking lot in Waterville on May 21. He was in Kennebec County Superior Court for a status conference Tuesday, charged with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon and carrying a concealed weapon.

His attorney, Leonard Sharon, told Justice Michaela Murphy that he is in talks with District Attorney Evert Fowle about a potential resolution to the case.

Outside the courtroom, Sharon said he is seeking "a resolution that will take into account the psychological issues and ensure that he can remain as a legislator."

2. Yeah - this is a fundie Republican moran who pulled a gun on an unarmed citizen

during some delusional RW GOP vigilante hunt for alleged drug dealers

and belongs to the same group of GOP/NRA morans that wanted to allow guns into the Maine Statehouse - where he is now banned by his fellow GOP morans

the same moran that thinks he can get away this

and get back into the State House

and get his gun rights back

yup
