A grandmother handed a Cobra .380-caliber semiautomatic pistol about noon to a park attendant, who immediately contacted security and the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
The owner, Angelo Lista, 44, of Royal Palm Beach claimed the firearm which had five hollow point bullets inside fell out of his back pocket during the bumpy Dinosaur ride, according to a Sheriff's Office incident report."

It's done in every other locus of society where there is a clear danger to innocent people.
Airports do it. Why should this be any different.
