They forgot they carried a gun? HAHAHAHA, America is nuts. This is not NORMAL!
-
It's scarey to think all of these, not very intelligent people were armed, trying to get on a plane. Why? I manage to get through the day without even thinking about guns.
-
You can bring a gun in airport. You have to check them in.
-
I’ve been carrying for over a decade. I don’t forget that I have a weapon on my person.
-
What do you expect? Anyone can literally buy a gun in the U.S. In other countries you have to meet strict guidelines and training to own one. All you need in the U.S is a form of ID or a good connection on the street. That's it. Years later it's the wild wild west here and you NEED a gun because you never know when a disgruntled a hole will start shooting up your local school or King Soopers. This is America.

Fear sells guns

Imagine how many guns get passed by accident. If they’re catching this many there has to be a few that actually get through security

I hope someone told this gentleman that NY is neither an open carry state nor a non open carry state (his words not mine). I believe the correct term is....” reciprocity vs non-reciprocity state” and carry a firearm does not constitute “the wild Wild West” it further sheds light on our 2A rights.
-
I guess this helps describe the intelligence and responsibility factor of many (of course not all) gun owners. LOADED??? IN CARRY ON??? 🤦♀️
-
How about Knifes is that up or down?
-
Someone should open a rent a gun shop at the airports. That way no one would need to carry a gun in the luggage.
-
I had a bullet in my hunting jacket that I forgot about once. Pretty ackward moment.
I wanted to put my hands up and yell im not a shooter but that probably would have made it worse lol. 🙃 just ended up saying sorry and telling them it was a mistake. I didnt get in any trouble they just took it -
MURICA!!!!!
-
if all these guns were found at airports we would of heard about it...if you wanna divert from being a worthless incompetent agency what would you do? round up a bunch of guns take pics/film it then claim they were taken from passengers..
