I don’t see how you can flip out about this, but be pro-gun rights, because if more states okay concealed carry, this will happen a lot more by accident.

It gets closer every time they pass a new law…

Tough to get the bags to the airport without carrying them. The laws are generally framed around carrying and possession, not ownership.

Bowers will undoubtedly be given a break too, but it’s hard to see him not doing some time given NY’s position on guns.

On the bright side, he’ll likely get to skip OTA’s and training campin 2014….

Taking a loaded gun onto a plane presents its own set of problems — regardless of what state you are in, and regardless of whether it was “an accident” or not.

Also, reports now say that authorities found the gun in his carry-on — that doesn’t sound like self-reporting to me.

This isn’t just one bad decision, it’s a series of bad decisions. Hard to fathom what goes through these guys’ minds.

There are some unanswered questions. Don’t ya think?

its like telling your kids not to lie and then punish them when they decide tell the truth.

Plaxico Burress turned himself in after the incident two days later. Police didn’t extend a warrant for arrest until they found out about the incident on the news.

Bowers turns in his gun rather than get on the plane with it and they cuff him anyway.

Again reason #85002390 not to trust the police. Even when you do their job. They still throw the book at you.

My point isn’t about the facts of this case just that there are circumstances that call for discretion by someone in authority. Some laws don’t allow for such judgement.
