A guy tried to get through airport security in NOL with an AR and 6 loaded mags, 163 rounds of ammo. I'm sure he just overlooked it when he packed his carry-on bag. Is he some kind of idiot?

LOADED AR

yes...

People from NOLA are not known for intelligence.

He probably went to "Condition 2" when he saw the security checkpoint.

Around 15 years ago a hunter "forget" he had a round in his gun at the airport and discharged it at check in at the New Orleans airport.

Same happened in the Anchorage airport at check-in. Pre TSA obviously. As the rifle (340wby IIRC) was being pulled from the case it went off right next to the female counter agent's ear... deaf in that ear ever after.

Local news story this am outta Murderapolis stated some (IIRC) 6,000+ guns have been removed from people flying out of MSP International.... That surprised me - never thought that many people would be so unaware of where they were going that they would forget they're carryin' a firearm...

Maybe it was Cash's wife just letting everyone know she is armed like he taught her! LOL!!!

Fifteen years ago, I was on a hunting trip in Ks. While there I bought a magazine for an AR. I had it in my carry on, unloaded and still in a cellophane wrapper. I had checked two shotguns, no AR. When they screened that bag, I was give a back room interrogation and they kept the magazine. This was at the Wichita airport.
I should have known better, I had forgotten it was in my carry on, but I can’t fathom forgetting that I had a firearm in my carry on.

In my opinion he sure qualifies as an idiot, and most likely a liar. How do you "overlook" something like that when you know you are going through airport security ???

Fienstine got caught with a loaded handgun in her purse after she let her Concealed Carry Permit expire.
And she at the time was a Congress Swamp Creature. That has tried to get our 2nd Amendment over turned with each day that passes.

Of Course nothing happened to her.

The law is clear that we can't carry a gun onto an airplane. So, why do they say that this guy is facing a possible $15k fine? If it's a felony, why not jail time? This looks to me like a TSA fund raiser.

Yep, she did. I had forgotten about that one

I emailed her several times and reminded her.
She Blocked me off of her email after several times of me reminding her of what she did.

Well, of COURSE!

There was a guy here in Rochester airport a few months ago "court judge's husband" had one in an arm sling.
And said "he forgot"·

MIL works airport security sees all kinds

I had a stray 300wsm round in my duffle I was carrying on board. I spent a little bit of time in a white room with lots of mirrors and a few TSA agents and one local PD. I had no idea what was going on until they showed it to me. We laughed about killing big elk and they let me go, without my stray round.

I spent 13 years screening passengers and honestly thought I was doing a good thing and keeping our Country safe. I started in 2003. Things sure did change over the years and I got to where I lost all faith in what I was having to do every day was doing more to violate people's rights than to keep people safe.
It's a fact if bad people want to do bad things they will find a way

6000+ guns per year out of MSP is far fetched as with rough estimating of just 6000 guns would work out to be about 115 guns per week or close to 16 guns per day. That is a pretty unrealistic number to believe, even for the MSM

From all credible (and uncredible) sources, fewer than 60 guns were found by TSA at MSP airport in 2022. That would be a little over one per week.

I believe that the nationwide total was a bit over 6500 guns for 2022. That would be more believable considering the millions of people who fly every year. This also begs the question whether this number is for just those flights originating in the US or if it includes those firearms found coming into the country from elsewhere.

Saw a pic of what they purported to have taken from the guy. A short barrel AR with a brace attached, six mags, 163 rds. of ammo, and… a collapsible stock. ATF will likely be talking to the fella, explaining the concept of intent to manufacture, and he best be real careful how he responds to that. A stock in the case with the short barrel brace equipped gun is not an easy thing to explain away…

Pre-TSA my wife’s friend was flying somewhere and went through security without issue. Later during her flight she went into her purse for something and realized that she had forgot to remove her 357 from her purse. She was careful not to let that cat out of the bag and kept that info to herself. 😀

They caught a guy here in Commyfornia years ago with all kinds of firearms in his bags. Full Autos , Short Barrel Rifles he had the works along with all the ammo a guy could want for a small war
it was quieted up real fast but not fast enough that it got out that he and his team were Gooberment Contractors heading across the country for a job.

They made a real big deal about it on the Lame Stream media and then Dropped it like a hot potato to try and hide what was actually going on.

That guy sued the TSA and I do not know what came of it. It was all hush hush.

your #'s were a little off.
So far in 2023, TSA officers have stopped nine firearms at MSP Airport. In 2022, 58 guns were stopped. In January, the TSA announced that last year officers confiscated a record number of firearms at airport checkpoints. In total, 6,542 guns were recovered, 570 more than the previous record from 2021.

Seems a little convenient, considering the ATF is right now pushing to make owners of that particular weapon felons unless they register them with them.

It's stupid that there should even be a problem with ammo. What are you going to do with it when there's no gun - point it and hold a match to the primer?

Flick the Primer with your Fingernail we all know that's how you can fire a cartridge and you hold your hand around it casing making the barrel.
With that heavy round that should be good and accurate for around 1000 yards at 5000 ft per second.

Traveled a lot competing around the country in shooting tournaments. A buddy traveling with me sent his shooting bag through the security checkpoint for carry-ons. They stopped and pulled his choke tubes out and asked what they were. Told them what they were.

They freaked out that they “were part of a gun” and had him take them back to the counter to be put in his luggage 😂😂😂😂😂. When we arrived at the hotel,his carry on shooting bag had 23 loose 12 gauge shells that they let him put on the plane 😂😂😂




Had a girlfriend who was a top shooter. She flew out for a week of practice. Checked her carry-on and her shooting bag when she got to my house and it had 2 boxes of 12 gauge ammo in it that they allowed on the plane


Checked my shooting bag to go to a tournament. At the gate they paged me. Guy said we are going through your bag and found an eye dropped marked “top secret”. “What is in this?”

A friend mixed up some transmission fluid and ProLong as a lube for my Auto and I told them it was oil.

They threw it away saying it had to be in an original container
