Yet another gun carried through Airport security.

 

Even more surprising is that Newark TSA caught what New Orleans let by.

Another dumbass who doesn't realize he has a gun on him. Sorry...I find that very irresponsible.

^^^ Exactly.

i second that dumbass comment

how do you forget something like that?

People in other countries are so accustomed to carrying firearms all the time that they hardly give it a second thought. It is similar to forgetting you left your wallet in your pants and it goes through the wash. Got to take that out before you do laundry. Also got to take out the handgun before you go through airport security. Both moves equally stupid. But if you are incapable of understanding how it could happen, well yeah...

I would assume in the free states it would be like carrying a pocket knife, find yourself at the entrance to a court house or Great Adventure magnetometer and it becomes an oh shit moment. I get it because I have done both already myself.

not sure if that was exactly called for. i was making a comment and one that is very similar to the one bluelinefinish made..

+1 I wo

I will admit that I have done that myself with my tiny Swiss Army knife that I mainly use for cutting cigars. So I could see how somebody would "forget."

Must be nice to be a person who has never forgot anything...ever.

Ummm... now what was I going to say??

:sclerosis:

Forgetting a folder or a nail file is one thing. A firearm is something else. Not that the TSA sees a difference sadly.

 

Regardless, as soon as I hit a Security Check point, I always have a Oh $h!t moment and quickly do a mental inventory. Very often, I am walking back to my car or getting an escort thru the check point. For work, I generally keep a Leatherman, Pepper Spray, a small tactical tomahawk as well as a folder. So I understand forgetting, up until the point of stepping thru the security check point.

 

On the other side of the situation, in a free state, the security guard could give you an option. Return it to your car, or check it at the counter. "We have brand X firearm case available for $25 check your weapon." Certainly cheaper then bail and retaining counsel.

My aunt is the perfect example, she lives in Florida, has had a carry permit for 20+years and has her S&W air weight .38 in her pocketbook all the time, it is to her like her wallet or makeup case, she doesn't even think about it but she knows if she needs it, it is there. It is difficult for someone that lives in our political environment to grasp that in its proper perspective.

It would be hard for US to forget because we are so paranoid here in NJ , due to the draconian and ineffective laws. I can fully see someone forgetting they have something that is part of their daily regimen , especially when it is a common everyday thing where they come from and something that is in their bag 24/7.

 

So , this guy was charged ..he said he did not realize he had his wife's bag?

Equally stupid IMO but the difference between the two cases is they caught this guy and to prosecute the firefighter there would be 5A issues.

I concur.... My Brother in Law and Nephews all carry overseas and constantly have to run back to the car to deposit their firearms when picking up at the airport,visiting malls and hotels.

It's as you said, carrying becomes second nature and the firearm becomes as common place as a wallet without so much as a second thought.

For us living in NJ and constantly aware of the location,status and condition of our firearms such a lapse is unthinkable.

I am routinely at airports and always do a checkpoint verification in my head. Even when I am going ramp side I have to do it, as bringing a folder ramp side is an issue also.

 

I have walked back to my truck or left my folder in a draw on the outside before walking through the secure side many of time. I have had knives taken away by the TSA too many times.

Gecko 45... is that you?

 

Just kidding... some here know the story. For those who don't, google it.

Gecko45, now that is a name that I have not heard in a long, long time. A long time... LOL

 

The epic mall ninja.

what worries me more is not having an oh sh%t moment at a security checkpoint.. its failing to know where that gun is at all times and either having an inquisitive child or genius adult getting it and going "what does this thing do"...

Ahh... the blissful moment when newbies discover the origins of the 'mall ninja'

I carry a gun EVERY day.... i never "forget I have it"... while it HAS become natural to always carry... I am always mindful that the gun is there..

Even if you were to forget it, is that really deserving of criminal sanctions? IMHO, no, it isn't.

 

And on the mall ninja front... they HAVE to be trolling, I simply cannot comprehend what it means if they aren't.

I do too, but sometimes it does slip your mind. It almost happened to me once while driving near the NJ border!!

This mall ninja has now blown my mind....never knew about the origins of it.

I remember the Hk91.com thread as I had (still have it) a Special Weapons SW3 and was having some FTE issues with it at the time. What ever happened to Hk91.com, I haven't been there in many, many years and I just noticed the domain is gone.
