Do NOT attempt to copy this stunt, YOUR MILEAGE WILL VARY.

UNLIKELY, YOU WILL SEE DAYLIGHT FOR A LONG TIME.

I can see an innocent mistake. But how did he gun get through security?

[Wuli]

Makes sense, it’s part of the judicial system in Chicago.

The teacher needed to own a gun to protect himself from those evil gun owners.

Crazy. Everyone knows it’s not permitted. Btw, many people have forgotten their firearm in a carryon. Completely irresponsible, but it happens more than you’d think. While there will be an arrest, and citation, I never once saw anyone treated like a terrorist over it. (During my close to 10 years working at an airport. Like any interaction with the police, it depends on your behavior.

Kelly Marie McCarthy ( Democratic Party) is a judge of the Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois. She assumed office on December 7, 2020. Her current term ends on December 7, 2026. McCarthy ( Democratic Party) ran for election for judge of the Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois.

The judge was elected on her “compassion” platform.

I see no problem with otherwise lawful gun owners carrying their concealed firearm aboard a commercial mode of transport, airlines included. Since when does a person’s right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness end because a person travels aboard some non-private means of transport? Come on, fella’s, millions of lawfully (and many unlawfully) armed people carry everyday most everywhere. There isn’t blood running in the streets in most locales, and it certainly isn’t the lawfully armed shedding blood illicitly as well.

Hoplophobes notwithstanding.

We know leftie judges are going to arbitrarily apply or ignore the law at their whim, but is it too much to expect that they even know the law in the first place?

McCarthy and the prosecutor engaged in an awkward exchange after she was presented with the state’s allegations during Aguilar’s bond hearing.

McCarthy: I have a question. He has a valid [Firearm Owner’s ID] and a valid [concealed carry license], but the basis of this allegation is that he didn’t have it properly stored, correct?
Prosecutor: Based on the facts, it’s that he carried it through the X-ray machine…
McCarthy: Well, you can do that. It just has to be stored properly …
Prosecutor: I’m not aware of the proper procedure at this time, your honor.
McCarthy: Okay. All right. My understanding is that it has to be properly stored and it can’t be loaded. It has to be in a locked case.

Ignorant prosecutor, as well. In case they're both listening:

You may transport unloaded firearms in a locked hard-sided container as checked baggage only.

Well, is it possible that she was bringing it along to teach someone how to use it?
