At the airport with a loaded gun in your carry on baggage?

[imanamerican63]

Just what the hell were you going to do with a loaded gun Madison Cawthorn?

I can’t believe how dumber is getting even more dumber and extremely dangerous! Oh wait, there Marjorie, Matt! The 3 M dummies and other GOBers!

1. How is he supposed to protect himself if someone asks him to wear a mask? ( n/t )

[gratuitous]

2. That's how you know you're dealing with a "responsible" gun owner

That's someone with so many firearms he can't keep track of them all! Gee whiz, TSA, you expect a fella to know where all of his guns are all the time? So there's one in my carry-on! I'm a responsible gun owner. You're not going to get all shirty about this, are you?

3. the funny thing is - a lot of the GOP 'base'

have nothing but contempt for the 'entitled preppy rich kids' - it's all "bootstraps" and "workers vs takers" in their world - and then they go out and vote for Madison (the original Brylcreem boy)

seriously - didn't you immediately think 'Eddie Haskell' the first time you saw this guy?

7. Eddie without even superficial charm.

How about Eddie Munster?

4. Isn't this the 2nd time he was caught with a gun at an airport?

He obviously thinks laws are made to be broken and no consequences apply to him. He must th ink his shit doesn't stink either.

[yardwork]

11. Yes. And he's been stopped multiple times for driving with a revoked license.

5. I wonder if carrying a loaded weapon

on airport property is a felonious offense? If so arrest, charge with a felony and prosecute. No more firearms for this rube.

[Vogon_Glory]

6. I think it is a felony, at least in certain states, BUT

Madison Cawthorn is counting on IOKALAYAAR to get him off the hook again.

And considering that Donnie, Stone, Brooks, Gretzky, and so many others are still at Liberty instead. Of being behind bars, who’s to say he’s wrong.

9. Not felony unless connected to additional felonious action-he's been charged with misdemeanor

Just the carrying of loaded weapon alone is misdemeanor unless related to other potential felonies.

He also faces substantial TSA civil fine since he already had a previous violation and gun was loaded this time whereas the previous incident was unloaded gun so his actions have escalated and are inexcusable now.

15. Would not anyone else be put on a NO FLY list the first time?

Much less at least arrested on whatever level of charge...

[newdayneeded]

10. Here's an easy answer...

"Madison Cawthorn was caught today with a handgun in his carry on."

Now replace your full name with his and think about how many squad cars would have rushed to the airport. You would have been immediately arrested.

12. +1,

8. I can't believe he wasn't arrested. They say enforce the laws already on the books,

and by god they should have.

14. The guy is a mess.
