Lucky guy.

Evil meeting crazy. And frosted with political correctness.

I wish my guns were as quiet as firecrackers.

“He went through three magazines” ..........

While I don’t doubt his story, once again we see another “almost victim” standing there watching the event unfold while supposedly approx. 10 ft. from the shooter. Thankfully I have never had to endure such an event but consider what could have been done to STOP this guy? When he had enough time to drop one magazine and reload two more, WHAT could have been done? Guess we will never know.

10 feet? That’s 3 steps and one second. Odd to brag about being so close.

I think this may be a security issue.

Not 100% sure, but I believe that FL laws prohibit citizen carry in commons areas of airports.

At MSP, you can carry anywhere outside of the “secure” area of the airport. After TSA screening.

My thoughts exactly. I cannot imagine how I would live with myself to have been that close and not done anything. Maybe it is just my Marine mentality.

At least tossing You’re

True. . .someone was close enough to tackle the guy. . .more than one person would be in a position to attack the guy. . .do SOMETHING, die on your feet, not your knees.

From his luggage. Legal to transport there along with ammo in a package where the rounds do not touch.

(assuming you aren’t on a no fly list for being a moslem nutball who walked into an FBI office and saying you are being coerced into fighting for ISiS, and the Army has also been investigating you too....of course if that happened, you’d never be allowed to fly)

Families with kids on vacation caught completely by surprise.

I don’t blame them. Not what they were expecting.

Obviously, there were no Marines heading for a vacation cruise this afternoon in Fort Lauderdale.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

One can transport a firearm and ammo on a plane if it is checked in locked case separate from checked ammo in locked case. Mags were probably in with the firearm. Got his luggage... went into bathroom.... loaded up mags... went out and started shooting.
