A Florida gun nut has been indicted in New Jersey for allegedly boarding an Amtrak train with a “small arsenal of weapons,” including a slew of ammunition, handguns, and a booby-trapped rifle, authorities said.

Jeffrey O. Kennerk of Fort Lauderdale was caught on a Virginia-bound Amtrak train with a slew of assault weapons, large-capacity ammunition magazines, handguns, and silencers, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin’s office announced.

“This defendant allegedly hauled a small arsenal of deadly weapons and ammunition through busy transit stations, and on a train filled with passengers,” Platkin said in a Wednesday statement.

Transit police in Newark-Penn Station noticed an unattended zebra-patterned bag on Jan. 3, and brought in a K-9 team to check for potential explosives. After the bag was cleared, officers found a case for a Glock handgun, according to the attorney general’s office.

Inside the case was a handgun with a loaded 18-round magazine, an AR-style magazine with rifle rounds, and a plastic bag containing a shirt and two boxes labeled 9mm bullets and four boxes of 0.223 caliber bullets, officials said.

After discovering the weaponry, law enforcement reviewed camera footage that revealed a man, allegedly Kennerk, carrying two suitcases, including the zebra-patterned one, the statement said.

“The subject walked away, allegedly, leaving behind the zebra print suitcase, and went to the Amtrak ticket window,” officials said.

It appeared Kennerk, 34, had purchased a ticket to board a Virginia-bound Amtrak train, where the next stop would be the Trenton Transit Center, authorities said.

He would have made it if he hadn’t left his luggage unattended.

He's in interstate travel, but went through communist New Jersey. With enough lawyers, he might even get his guns back, but it will be expensive.

Officer: “Sir, why are you strolling around Amtrack, no train ticket, and toting a suitcase full of dangerous weapons, some of them loaded?

Florida Man: “Dude, it’s a Chick Magnet! They love the danger! Try it yourself! Better than the French Bulldog on a leash bit. That’s been overdone.”

I think you're right, although I think they are more typically worn through the schnoz.

In Trenton, you NEED firearms if you want to survive.

It is in New Jersey - that’s the last state you want to be caught in. A stray bullet in your trunk can land you in jail.
