    I guess it's easy to forget some ammunition that is still hiding somewhere in your luggage.

    For a firearm, I don't know. Sounds strange to just forget it.

      I wonder if that number includes people that are required to carry a gun.

        That’s how many firearms TSA confiscates on an average day.

        90% of them are loaded.

        Curious what people think is going on. Do people really think you can bring a gun on a plane? Or are these just habitual open carriers that didn’t give it a thought?

        Lawbreakers, likely mostly white men.
        And some, I assume, are good people.

          How many are legal?

            None. I assume they all get charged for the attempt.

            Only non-witches get due process.

              Obviously it’s illegal to board a plane with them. I meant I wonder how many were legally owned before they were caught traveling.

                Men or women. A lot of people keep a loaded firearm in their smaller travel bag. You know, the one you use for a carry-on or for a weekend car trip?

                They just forget.

                Of the 18 confiscated, I'm guessing at least 95% fall under forgetfulness or ignorance of the law

                  I’d say 100%. I doubt any of them were like ‘I know it’s illegal but I think I can slide it through the metal detector fast enough that no one will notice’.

                    So, what do you do with those people?

                    Confiscate the firearm, give them a decent fine and carry on...

                      Seems reasonable. My understanding is it can be a felony but if they consider it an accident you get a misdemeanor. I think having it loaded or not is a factor too.

                        Well, maybe just one.

                          From what I’ve read, a lot of this has to do with the locking case in the bag. Apparently the locking cases that come with most guns don’t meet TSA requirements.
