“#BREAKING Broward Commisioner Chip LaMarca: Gunman was pax on Canadian flight w/ checked gun. He claimed bag, went to bathroom, loaded it:”

You know, the strange thing is that a foreign-sounding, very intense man called in to Rush's show earlier this afternoon, and talked to Mark Steyn, who was guest hosting. The caller was from Canada, and he said that what the US needed to fear right now was what would be coming into the US from Canada, given the large number of Muslims who had just been admitted into that country. Interesting coincidence. Or was it?

“If he’s Hispanic, Trump’s fault - you watch”

It’s sad but can you think of any category of shooter where the media doesn’t make it Trump’s fault?

Yes. In the US you can check a gun, in a locked box, inside your bag and you may have ammo in the bag as well, but not in the box. That’s how I travel.

Yes. But of course packaged separately and by airline regulations (containers, etc). Prob why he went to the bathroom to load. I thought I heard a witness say it was a pistol.

HuH??? Going to or from Canada, with a handgun? Canada has a thing about pistols like they're nuclear weapons or something, so am wondering what the circumstances are for sure. And Canada is a hangout and entry point for various islamonut types also.

Broward Sheriff in press conference and the FBI SAC say there was only one shooting location and the suspect was taken into custody without incident, no other shooting at the airport. Only one shooter.

Wow. Shep just said firearm can’t be loaded. So either the ammo was in his bag, or someone left it for him in the bathroom.

You can carry both, but not both. He went to the bathroom to load.

For all the third world bashing people do around here, I was never worried about this in any Indian, Thai or Singaporean airports. There are times when you NEED to be seeing the guys with the machine guns on your side.
