    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.
