Besides f- this guy I'd like to add one to all the people who claim they forgot. Most are probably lying but either way they all deserve some time in jail and a permanent ban on firearm ownership.

>Last year, the Transportation Security Administration seized a record 6,542 guns at airports around the country. Most people who are stopped for having a gun at an airport checkpoint say they forgot they had the weapon with them.

I'm a gun owner and second amendment supporter, and I strongly believe that if you lose track of one or more of your guns, that is very clear evidence that you are unfit to possess any of them.

that's what I keep telling people, I don't want to completely stop gun ownership, I just don't want people incapable of being safe with them to own them until they can prove their competence.

But the 2A supporters see these as the same statement, which is probably telling tbh

I know a person who bought their first handgun, a revolver, and ended up putting a hole in their bathroom wall because they didn't read the manual before loading it and cocked the hammer back and wondered why they couldn't unlatch the cylinder anymore. They had a Florida carry permit for almost a decade, and since the state's renewal policy is just a fee, photo and paperwork, it was obvious that it had been a long time since they'd ever had any training.

Thats a pretty common mistake. Just the other day I went to the supermarket and when I went to put my bags in the trunk I had conpletely forgotten about my landmines. That was a shock.

That's pretty understandable though. When it comes to unstable Green Berets, C4 is like Frank's Red Hot.

I don't think anyone forgets they are carrying 2 pistols and a rifle.

TBF, a lawyer recently died because he forgot he had a pistol and walked into a room with an MRI

Tongue in cheek with “forgot”?

It was his gun, a loaded clip, and 30 rounds. Pretty sure you don’t forget you have that on you, especially when you do the normal pat down after removing stuff to enter
