Brooklyn City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov will be cleared of a criminal charge she faced for bringing a gun to a rally last month, as the NYPD determined the weapon was “inoperable,” prosecutors said Friday.

In a statement provided to NY1, a spokesperson for Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez’ office said the gun Vernikov surrendered to police after the Oct. 12 rally was “unloaded and missing the recoil spring assembly, rendering it inoperable, according to the NYPD’s lab report.”

“In order to sustain this charge, it must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the weapon in question was capable of firing bullets,” the spokesperson said. “Absent such proof, we have no choice but to dismiss these charges.”

“Peaceful protest is the right of every American, but bringing a gun to a protest is illegal and creates an unacceptable risk of harm that has no place in our city,” the spokesperson added.

The Republican city councilmember, whose district includes Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay, was seen with the end of a handgun “protruding from the front portion of her pants” during a pro-Palestinian rally held outside Brooklyn College on Oct. 12, police said.

Vernikov posted a video of herself at the rally on her social media platforms in which she criticized demonstrators, calling them supporters of Hamas.

After Vernikov left the protest, police contacted her about photos circulating on social media that showed her with the gun. She turned herself in at the 70th Precinct in Kensington, the NYPD said.

Vernikov was arrested and given a desk appearance ticket on a criminal possession of a firearm charge, police said. The lawmaker also surrendered her gun and her permit license for the weapon, according to police.

The charges against Vernikov stemmed from a state law classifying criminal possession of a firearm at a "sensitive location," such as a rally or demonstration, as a class E felony.

NY1 has reached out to Vernikov’s office for comment.
