David Huckabee, 26, the son of former Gov. Mike Huckabee, was arrested early Thursday morning for allegedly attempting to board an airplane with a handgun at Little Rock National Airport.
After being released from the Pulaski County Jail, Huckabee called the incident "a silly mistake" and said "it shouldn't" affect his father's presidential campaign.
According to the police report, the gun was a Glock and had a clip in it. Huckabee was asked if he knew what was in the bag, and he replied he did now. The report says he told authorities that he forgot the gun was in the bag.
Huckabee was arrested for carrying a weapon in a prohibited place at about 6 a.m.

It doesn’t look good and yet, having it brought out here is a bit better than having it brought on Kos, or via HuffingTON or some other hostile venue. It’s really not such a big thing but, the sheeple will respond based on the media hype, IMHO.
Why?
Old story posted to mislead. Here’s the outcome:
...He later pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge in Little Rock District Court. District Judge Lee Munson sentenced him to a one-year suspended jail sentence and ordered him to 10 days of community service, which he can avoid by paying $100. His fines and court costs totaled $855. He also will be on probation for a year.
Police say David Huckabee said he forgot he had the weapon inside his luggage. And Little Rock Police Lt. Terry Hastings said it is not unusual for people to forget they have a gun in their carry-on luggage.
Police say the 40-caliber Glock had eight live rounds in the clip but no bullet in the chamber. The pistol and ammunition were handed over to the Little Rock police.

He tried to eat the both of them but they were not home at the time
You owe me a new keyboard and a cup of coffee for that one.
Sorry. Wrong thread, I thought this was about guns. I didn’t know it was another make fun of people with weight problems thread.
Glocks don’t have safeties, right?
If the clip is in, then you are in business, right? It’s not like he had a 1911 with all their safeties.
lol... why hasn’t Mike put him on a diet?
I’ll never trust your posts again.
..Sorry..but.. If Mike Huckabee is going to get out there, we have to know the whole ugly truth before he goes up before Hillary.
LOL, he looks just like Daddy. Did you know the old man used to be really fat as well?
He is David the Hutt.
I don’t have a Glock, I have a Smith and Wesson .38, and it has a safety lock. I did clean a glock once in gun class, but I don’t remember the lock feature.
"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Former Gov. Mike Huckabee has issued the following comment in response to the arrest of his son:
" I love my son but what he did was irresponsible, but not intentional. The right to carry a firearm has to be balanced with an equal responsibility to not make foolish errors like forgetting about it being in one's briefcase. He was treated courteously and professionally but received no special treatment and he shouldn't have."
"David has to accept full responsibility and the consequences of his actions as any other adult -- and he is doing that. I make no excuses for him and would expect him to accept whatever penalties are given. It is the court's responsibility to properly consequence him for a foolish act but his family's responsibility to love him and temper our disappointment with our support.
Seven months is a long time. Was there a trial? Did he get off?
My point was that if this was âjoe anybodyâ, the Fred heads would be cheering him, saying what a great American he was for carrying a loaded gun, his rights under the 2nd amendment. But its the Hucksterâs son, so lets make jokes about his looks or something else to make him look bad. Its called utter inconsistency and probably hypocrisy, and reflects badly on Fred. I am sure even Fred would be upset if he saw some of the low-ball antics his supporters are doing in his name.
or Billy Carter ... that might be a closer fit.
Huckabee before diet

You still have to chamber a round for the gun to be hot.
Sheesh.
