Police nab pilot with loaded gun in luggage

[humveedriver]

I think you are wrong and don't even know it. If you have parked in a school parking lot with a gun in your trunk, you are a criminal. If you drive in VA on the interstate near DC but pass too close to federal property, you are a criminal. I've literally got 29,998 more of these.

BTW those are examples of someone who may not be familiar with the firearm laws pertaining to certain localities. Home boy is a professional pilot going to work at the airport. Even of he had never seen these rules before in his life;

The x-ray machines and metal detectors would have been a dead give away that firearms are not permitted on the premises. I predict a 10-25,000 (if he is guilty) dollar fine as a message to the rest of us. Next offender beware type stuff.

it may have had something to do with a jilted lover and the married pilots concern for his safety b/c of backlash. very possible pilot was packing out of concern.

Two dozen employees get off the bus. Twelve pilots and FAs get into the "first class/handicapped/toddler/elderly/people-with-comfort-pets/crew" TSA line while the other twelve maintenance employees with lunch pails and backpacks in tow punch a code into a door that is right beside the TSA line, go through the door, and pop out on the other side of the security checkpoint. Huh? No touching or x-files flourescent flashlight to see if ID is valid, no bag check of any kind, no doffing of any personal items to go through a metal detector? Approved!

Bingo....and the wrong people are surely working to exploit this. Just a matter of time.

That is exactly my protocol, but exchange gerbers (a knife?)for gerbils. I really like to let my hair down with the Mrs.

Yuck. Do you select Elton John for your background music during these tender moments?

 

[Tweaker]

It is in the rotation, certainly! We prefer to call it back door music tho, not background.

Who would do that? And you think other people shouldn't be able to vote...

 

[waveflyer]

Some would say they have a right to carry a gun in the trunk of their car at all times

I would do it. How would I protect myself when I leave the school grounds?

You can't be serious. No wonder we have the HIGHEST violent crime rates of any industrialized nation.

Guns in and around schools... What could go wrong?
