Delonte West in trouble with guns

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
It is 10 o’clock at night and Delonte West is speeding down the Interstate near his home in the off season near Brandywine, Maryland. Nothing unusual about that. Delonte is riding his 3 wheel 2009 Can-am Motorcycle. If not for one other little detail, it would be business as usual.
Delonte West is carrying a 9mm Beretta in his waistband, a .357 Ruger is strapped to his leg, and a shotgun is stored in a guitar case slung over his shoulder. In essence, he is loaded for Bear.
All of the sudden there are Police lights and Delonte West is being pulled over.
He has been charged with two counts of gun possession and several traffic citations, although those charges could be amended, Copeland said. According to Maryland criminal law, having an unlicensed handgun can carry a fine of $2,500 and/or up to three years in prison.

Just what was Delonte doing with all the guns? Was he going to kill himself? Was he going to kill someone else? Was he just coming home from a really impressive gun show?
For Delonte West things are a little off kilter
Now here is the scary part. Delonte West suffers from Bipolar disorder. He has to take medication to help control moodiness and depression. This is not some angry young man carrying around guns. This is a man torn to pieces on a regular basis by his own mind. He hurts. What were the guns for? Delonte may tell us and he may have to tell us to avoid imprisonment, but you can almost be sure it is tied to his disorder.
Just a guess on my part, but maybe we should be praying for Delonte for some relief from his circumstances and not be upset because one of the Cavaliers was caught with guns.
