I'm sorry I don't know why but I found this really funny.

I mean come on ! Like he didn't know NYC has the most restrictive gun laws in the nation ?

Wow, what a moron

Holy crap, just goes to show you....

 

NYC does not give a crap about FOPA.

 

The guy is a moron, but any of us could of been in that situation?

The box contained a Glock 27 semi-automatic pistol and 19 rounds of nine millimeter ammunition.

 

thank god he didn't try to use that to defend himself..

The G27 would work better if he didn't use 9mm ammo.

You are blaming the wrong person. It's not his fault. It's that extra charge for baggage. :-)

Reminder to self, do not fly out of Kennedy or LaGuardia, EVER.

MOST LIKELY a reporter error. I'm no Miss Cleo but I bet it was a G26.

Is NY ignoring FOPA, or is he getting jammed up because he's been in NY since Dec 11, and thus not protected under the "safe passage" provision of FOPA?

Interestingly enough, 4 or 5 different news websites that reported this story all said the same basic thing - G27 and 12 rounds of 9mm. More than likely it was the Queens DA that got it wrong.

This is surprising HOW?

Spokesman Al Della Fave said that Meckler, 49, had arrived at the airport at 5:30 a.m. to board a Delta flight to Detroit.

He declared that he had the weapon in his luggage, Della Fave said, and the ticket agent notified police.

Police found the gun, which is registered, locked in a case.

"He had the weapon and ammunition, and that's like having a loaded weapon," Della Fave said.

So he gets treated just the same as a guy on the street with baggy sweats that are obviously weighted down with a pistol. Except for the arresting part.

One of these days PAPD is REALLY going to get it;s peepee whacked over one of these stunts.

If this ever happens to you, don't tell the police that you carry a gun (without a valid CCW) because there have been threats made against you.

I said he was a moron because of this.

 

Looks like he admitted to having the gun while in NYC during his stay. FOPA only allows traveling directly through. Plus FOPA, he would have to have the ammo and gun locked in separate cases.

I'm not a glock guy, so I am assuming the Glock 27 is either a .40 or .45 and not a 9mm correct? If so, and the report is true, that is hilarious!

 

With that said, he is a moron for admitting to breaking the law. Had he kept his mouth shut, he could use FOPA. Unfortunately he told them otherwise, and it no longer applies. Idiotic. That is why, as a rule, you don't say anything to police, ever. Sucks for him.

NYC Porth Authority cops have been doing this on a number of occassions.

 

People were arrested upon checking in by some airlines, then released next day. When I was flying out to nationals in Vegas, I was considering taking a flight out of JFK, but after talking to some TSA and LEO guys on the forum, I was highly advised not to do so.

 

the issue is not the TSA, but rather the Port Authority cops.

 

Flew numerous times with firearms in and out of EWR, PHL, ACY, and into MCO and LAS, and never once did I have issues.

Just on CBS News, NY:

He pled guilty to a disorderly Persons charge and was fined $250.

 

 

Love the gun "totting" reference! http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/01/12/tea-party-activist-pleads-guilty-in-laguardia-gun-incident/
