In the latest clip, Omar Gooding explained his 1995 arrest over carrying three stolen guns. He explained that he met his social circle through rap and some of his friends were from gang territories. Despite his fame, he enjoyed hanging out in environments not often frequented by celebrity figures. Believing him and friends needed to be protected, he described buying guns from other people instead purchasing registered weapons from a store. During one night out, he and his friends were pulled over and caught with three guns. While they all received probation, Omar still had to apologize to the "Hangin' With Mr. Cooper" crew in order to save his job. To hear about the near-riot that ensued during his arrest, check out the above clip.
