Man Gets Caught with Loaded Gun at Airport #2

On November 8, 2021, Monroe County Sheriff’s deputies responded to Key West International Airport after a loaded gun was discovered at a TSA checkpoint. A 50-year-old man went through the x-ray screening when his carry-on luggage appeared to show a loaded handgun. After investigating, they left it up to the Assistant State’s attorney to review and determine the consequences of his negligent actions.

I don't understand the apparent surprise on this video or #1 regarding "one in the chamber". While clearly not necessary in these cases, one in the chamber could be the difference between life and death. Does law enforcement carry empty chamber? Of course they don't, that would be ill advised to say the least. A law abiding citizen has the same right to carry, open or concealed or both depending on the state, and again, an empty chamber may be the difference, especially if you've only one hand available to defend you life or the lives of those around you.

[@earthling1984]

I feel like that was really an accident. But, for real, check your bags before you go to an airport. And you should know where your guns are.

[@xjjtvx2533]

Nah, he lied about it being a 'range bag' then another officer asked and it was now an 'every-day carry bag', even little white lies like that can uncover a persons true intentions. Also, he spoke way too much for someone in genuine shock and disappointment with themselves. He only seemed emotional and 'sorry' when he needed to be as in trying to talk his way out of it in a very unnatural way for someone who's made such a big mistake. Furthermore the gun was placed in the bag perfectly so to reach in and arm himself within a split second if needed with one in the chamber (not normal for an everyday carry in a rucksack) and an extra clip. Something isn't right, these officers made the right call.

It is always the opinions of the cops and/or the victim(if there happens to be one). Just like someone selling a firearm(or anything for that matter) where the seller has every right to make a judgmental decision on whether they feel the person is "worthy"(less "worthy" and more so just a right to refuse service when coming to food and general merchandising). Also this one had a few differences that I had noticed. One is that you have to remember that everyone(at least most everyone) involved in each case is a different person. Second is that the first guy had nailed every question with proof of who he was, his military experience, where he was going and what he was doing with names and job titles. He spent 18 years in the military which was confirmed. He was going to a conference for a respectable job as(what I remember) some kind of nurse/flight nurse(?). The man in this video was very hush about his job. In the video he didn't "name drop" his company/the company he works for nor did he speak of what exactly he was picking up. His CCW was also not confirmed during the time they had him held so they couldn't just release him onto a flight or to go home incase he did not have one since that could be a *felony(*obviously depending on a lot of factors like location and such). Things stacking up like that can force a cops hand into holding him with fear that if they let him go, he could be dangerous and that would fall on them. Anyways, like I had said before, It is always up to the cops when there is no victim and on public property. It's the reason people don't always get a speeding ticket. My brother could still be in prison for 3 more years spending 10 in total but they got him out in 2.5. Now he is still a dumbass in and out of jail but they tried to get him out so maybe he could be a father to his kids and spend his "earlier years" trying to be a functioning adult. I hope this sort of helps whether you agree or disagree and have a good day/night.

[@stan.rarick8556]

It's amazing how having an EXPIRED CCW (as in this case) can cause a different outcome from where the CCW is valid.

[@BikerGuyVA]

Looking at the two situations, I noticed some differences that may be significant enough to account for the different end results. First is related to the weapons: In the other video, he had a loaded clip in the gun but no round in the chamber. I don't think that he was carrying additional ammunition. In this video, the guy had a fully loaded clip in the gun and a round in the chamber. He had a second fully loaded clip in the bag with the gun. Next deals with permits: The guy in the other video was local and had a Florida gun permit, so was in-state. He also had someone who could come to the airport and pick up the gun from him. I don't remember if he had a concealed carry permit. In this video, the guy was from Wisconsin - non-local. He had a Wisconsin concealed carry permit which may not be recognized as valid in Florida. Finally, maybe the man's story in this video raised a red flag. He had driven to Florida from Wisconsin on business and was now flying back to Wisconsin for the weekend. He said that he was going to fly back to Florida on Sunday then drive his vehicle back to Wisconsin. One important similarity in both cases is that the men appeared fully cooperative with law enforcement, and it appeared that law enforcement personnel were calm and professional with them. If this had happened in a major airport, or if anyone had escalated, things could have ended very differently.

And between dealing with the police and the courtroom, the state prosecutors decide whether to pursue charges in court or not. Again, the prosecutor is not determining the outcome of the case, a judge will do that.

Compare that with the video from last month where it happened at the LaCrosse, WI airport. No arrest, no charges...the officers knew he made an honest mistake. Sadly, this guy didn't fare as well.

[@dmmalicoat]

IIRC the person in that video was in the military. Prolly a bit more leanient because of that. Still had one in the chamber though as well!

Was his expired as well?

They left it up to the district attorney here though so it’s not law enforcements fault.

This seems legit. He works for Mercury Racing up in Wisconsin. He drove down to Key West for the boat races (for work with Mercury Racing), then had to fly back home during the races, but back to key west after the races, to bring the product back to Wisconsin with his truck. As an avid boater with Mercury Racing products, as soon as I heard him say Mercury racing, and knowing he was in key west during the November races, I could tell exactly what happened. Key west in November is HUGE for performance boating, and Mercury Racing is the biggest engine manufacturer in the performance boating industry.

[@VanisleNSX]

Genuine mistake or not this is a fuck up of large magnitude. If he truly grabbed the wrong bag, he was planning on leaving town with his gun left loaded with one in the chamber in a random bag unsecured? This is exactly how kids accidently get shot.

[@Jay-qt6xu]

Bigger issue in this case is theft from the vehicle. Guns get stolen from cars every day!

[@mattymaple1976]

As a long time gun owner and a 2A supporter, I feel it is up to "us" to be ambassadors for firearm safety. I get to carry a gun daily, but I need to be responsible. Doing a dumb like this is not ok. It paints a picture that gun owners dont keep tabs of their weapons or feel above the law, etc.

we see guns literally everyday on the checkpoint. if the person has a concealed carry license and a clean background check, they are usually allowed to return to the ticket counter to properly check the weapon. TSA inspector on duty, reviews the camera footage, and all the info gathered to make a determination on how badly DHS will fine them (usually starts at 5k and up to 13k for repeat offenders). the person usually books another flight and is back in the checkpoint in like an hour. if the person has a felony, warrant, no cc license, then that's when the state gets involved. this one though, Key West International uses a security company that is contracted by DHS, but operates under TSA. So, there shouldn't be an inspector there to handle the investigation. But, they do have CBP and I have no idea why they didn't get involved since it is still a matter of DHS and the state of Florida. i know we don't have all the info on this guy, but something tells me he wasn't supposed to be carrying concealed.

[@yegorzakharov8514]

[@majoryoshi]

they said they couldn’t confirm it’s validity, suggesting that it had expired. there’s a slim chance that he did have a criminal record since getting his cc, but highly unlikely since as far as i know most invalid cc licenses are due to them expiring

Honestly if you forgot your gun like that, you deserve to pay the stupid tax, nothing less or more.

[@davidsanbeg2335]

While I do have a certain level of compassion for this guy, there's no excuse for this. A CCW carries a certain level of responsibility. I also question whether he has 2 identical bags. We need to get these type of incidents consistent across DA's.

[@starelikeajunkie]

I took the class and got my CCL about six months ago. The first thing they went over is what constitutes acceptable use of deadly force. The second thing they went over was where you're not allowed to carry.

Agree. I'm not a carrier, but my range bag looks nothing like any I'd use for work or travel.

Agreed. As a CCW holder, I ALWAYS know where my gun is, and what condition I left it in. It’s not a random pocket knife that you just misplaced, or accidentally dropped into a bag.

If this was an honest mistake (we simply can't know for sure), the lesson is: guns are NOT TOYS. You gotta be ULTRA responsible if you decide to have one. In several situations you can be arrested on the spot for simply owning one.

I think the other guy’s story was a lot more clear-cut and they were able to contact people to verify his information (including that he was military).This dude drove down from another state to an airport with an extra mag, plus allegedly his ccw was expired. If the officers can’t prove that information on the spot, I think this is one of those situations where I’d rather them fully investigate and delay a persons trip, vs seeing this guy on the 5pm news.

[@Victor-ze3sd]

I get what you are saying but there are better ways of doing this, they should have everyone go through scanners and not only metal detectors and also have all of the latest x-ray machines that have 3d viewing in airports, because if you don't have those 2 it isn't even that safe I find.

[@theKashConnoisseur]

He's not gonna do a ton of damage with a gun that takes 6 round magazines lol. It's not liken they caught him with 5 AKs and 10,000 rounds in drum magazines. The man had 13 bullets of .380, which is a realistic amount of ammo to carry in a self defense firearm. Basically, that's enough shots to defend against 1-2 attackers.

Guy drove from Wisconsin to Key West Florida which is a very long distance, yet not once did he ever bother to look inside the luggage he planned to use as a carry-on. People usually look through their carry-on prior to the security checkpoint to ensure that they have things like water, snacks, a book, etc., so I'm not buying the 'accidental' thing about mistaking his 'range' bag for his carry-on bag.
