You can whine and moan about state laws all you want. The fact is that the lady in the article tried to board an airplane while carrying a gun. That's stupid.

This discussion has nothing to do with the Constitutionality of laws that infringe on my rights. This discussion has to do with somebody who didn't pay attention to the laws which can severely inconvenience her life in years to come.

Put your money where your mouth is. Open carry into a post office. Protest that law. Better yet, open carry into LaGuardia airport and demand to board a plane. You're cowards if you don't. Then come back here and boast about what true patriots you are.

And the fact that you geniuses are defending her tells me that FR has once again been infested with mindless libertarians. Seriously, don't you people have your own venue to vent? Oh, I forgot, you don't. You're just some fringe group to whom no one pays attention.

Carry on.

"fact is that the lady in the article tried to board an airplane while carrying a gun."

IS that a fact?

Refreshed, returning home to Virginia Beach, she checked her bag at La Guardia Airport. It was 1985 and airline screening was not as rigorous as it is today, but the authorities noted that there was a handgun in the luggage.

Purse?...or checked luggage?

Calling unconstitutional laws unconstitutional isn't moaning or whining. "The fact is that the lady in the article tried to board an airplane while carrying a gun. That's stupid.".
Actually her explanation was pretty clear in that she simply forgot. That isn't "stupid", in fact it's not hard to do when you are used to daily carry.

You don't determine what a conversation is about. A woman made a pretty simple mistake, and was thrown in jail over blatantly unconstitutional laws, laws which, if there were any rationality to the court system, would have been nullified. You might want to ignore these facts but others think they are important.

Put your money where your mouth is. Open carry into a post office. Protest that law. Better yet, open carry into LaGuardia airport and demand to board a plane. You're cowards if you don't. Then come back here and boast about what true patriots you are
. What point are you trying to make here? Do you think that people that oppose unconstitutional laws are somehow required to brazenly break the law and go to jail to prove...what? I don't follow your lack of logic here at all, in fact it's so plainly moronic that it's giving me a headache.

And the fact that you geniuses are defending her tells me that FR has once again been infested with mindless libertarians. Seriously, don't you people have your own venue to vent? Oh, I forgot, you don't. You're just some fringe group to whom no one pays attention..
Why do you think that defending someone for being thrown in jail for unconstitutional laws is somehow mindlessly libertarian? For that matter why do you think that your overly emotional, illogical, name calling, screed gives you any room to be calling other people mindless?

Only because of the unconstitutional laws related to that. It never really was about citizens carrying firearms onto planes. It is all about criminals and terrorist carrying firearms onto planes. Our government seems incapable or unwilling to address the actual problems.

Profile, profile, profile!

It was in her checked suitcase, not her purse.
