Omaha pastor stopped for second time at airport with gun in carry-on

Source: KETV Omaha

OMAHA, Neb. —An Omaha pastor was stopped at an Eppley Airfield's security station with a loaded handgun in his carry-on and is facing prosecution Sunday night because it's not the first time he's done it.

Weasel, who has a concealed-carry permit, said he told authorities it was an honest mistake when he showed up at the airport with it in his bag, saying he thought his gun was at home in a safe.

"It's about 40 pounds and it's stuffed with everything," Weasel said. &quot I) think what happened was the gun fell in between two of the larger books."

...

A father, grandfather and pastor of 33 years, Weasel said he asked God why he made this mistake twice and now he knows.

"And perhaps he's trying to use this so others can learn from my mistake and then perhaps he's using this to teach me, so that something worse wouldn't happen," Weasel said.

That's from the video.

a kid could get into it. Or unsecured in an overhead bin, could fall out and discharge...

God isn't trying to teach you. He's trying to warn the rest of us that he fucked up when he made you.

If we take him at his word, the incompetence and negligence is criminal.

If we don't take him at his word, he's a dangerous liar trying to smuggle firearms through security and thinks feigning incompetence will make it OK.

Never mind the fact that the man is an ordained pastor who claims a pacifist as his deity but also feels the need to pack a weapon who's only purpose is to harm and kill.

The idiot doesn't know where his gun is at all times?

Definitely reckless, and dangerous. Just proves that anyone can get a permit.

Oh, yeah, no doubt!

Apparently he thinks we're all as stupid as he is.

"Weasel?" Ridiculous. Probably pronounces it "We-SEL."
