    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.
