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.
