Colorado Police Investigating Ja Morant After Flashing A Gun On Social Media

Pro basketball player Ja Morant is under investigation by Colorado police after the Memphis Grizzlies star posted an Instagram Live video in which he displayed what appeared to be a gun while at a nightclub. The department is investigating whether Morant might have broken any gun laws. 

The incident happened at Shotgun Willie’s, a “gentleman’s club.” 

Colorado is an open-carry state, although there are exceptions to the law, including the carrying of a firearm on federal property. It is illegal in Colorado to possess a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.

NBA rules prohibit a player from possessing a firearm while on team property or traveling on team business.

Morant is away from the team as the NBA conducts its investigation.
