I agree.
If you do not know where your firearm is at all times, you should not have one.
You, like the state senator, are not responsible firearm owners.
People can’t find the hat that’s on their head, or they leave infants behind in their car. Forgetting there’s a gun in your bag is not that out of the question.
It would have been better for him to have dumped it in a trash can and scooted out of the country real quick. He may have thought being up front and honest would mitigate things for him but even the Chinese would have recognized him as a dummy for not handling his weapon responsibly. He forgot that it was in his carry on bag?...oh please! That’s third grade forgot my homework level thinking. The Chinese would legally right to punish this clown though I do hope they recognize in some fashion that he did report himself.
I think they scare him for a few months in jail..then deport him. He is a ranking politician in the states so they do have to go easy!
Mostly true, but in the hectic rush to get to the airport in heavy traffic under time pressure, it is easy to forget to take it out and put it in the glove compartment.
BINGO !!!
They make CCW Purses and from what I know about Women’s purses I would be afraid to have a Firearm somewhere inside of that danger zone. I recently got a CCW Purse for the Wife, the damned thing was $75.00 !!! I was informed later that was inexpensive for a purse😳 (see https://www.dooney.com/home)
I’m not changing My opinion on the subject. Failure to remember/know that one is in possession of a Firearm is no excuse. I don’t care if it’s the 1st time or the 20th time.

That's the excuse he should have used- my Dog ate it ! (meaning his brain)...
1) not wear a hat.
2) not have children.
3) not be in possession of a Firearm.
Would you apply the same "logic" when it's applied to, let's say THE FOOTBALL ?
And here I thought that airport security was supposed to catch all of these “EVIL GUNS” before they could even get on an airplane!
What’s up with the TSA, to busy groping women and children?
Hell; pay attention when your in the USA, get caught with a gun in your bag by the TSA (not that they would probably catch it at all) while trying to board a plane and your going to jail, even here.
Of course they are. Their job is not security, it's intimidation. Making sure the proles know their place.
Gotta love the guy with Ma Deuce. He’ll have to gate check that; it won’t fit in the overhead bin.
