On January 7–the day after the heinous attack in the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood international gun-free zone–the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence Tweeted that you can “carry a gun and ammo in a checked bag” when you fly.

[rktman]

Well that may be a first. The soon to be defunct brady bunch is correct about something.

[gundog]

Obama’s fault.

[Dr. Pritchett]

In fact, I am compelled to start carrying a gun and ammo in my check-in baggage from now on. I wouldn’t want to be caught short defending myself like all this people in concealed carry Florida.

All abortion clinics should have to have an operating theater to handle potential emergencies.

we need also a new police force to go to all abortion clinics to audit and confirm the fitness of their documentation.

this is because we love women.

[rktman]

When we were still in FL, we knew that carrying, even with a permit, did NOT allow you to carry inside airport buildings. Leave it in the car.

[a fool in paradise]

Lies by omission, anyone can walk in off the street into the baggage claim area with a loaded weapon as there is no screening in that area.

You can also be a radical jihadist already on the law enforcement agencies radar when you fly...

(A) Planned Parenthood tries to hide the fact that although LEGAL, they are still botching abortions and letting women and GIRLS bleed to death.

(B) The Kermit Gosnell case is evidence that even when a butcher is violating laws, corrupt government agencies will look the other way and let business continue as usual for far too long because “Abortion Pride” and all that.

[rktman]

You must have forgotten about the “NO GUNS ALLOWED” signs.

“You Can ‘Carry a Gun and Ammo’ in Checked Bag When You Fly”

Its true, but Breitbart insinuates this is somehow a misleading statement.

[Brilliant]

Personally I don’t see any need to carry ammo on a plane. He can buy ammo easily at his destination. But on the other hand all that does is move the shoot up off premises of the airport. The real problem is that this guy is a danger and unless you’re going to institutionalize these guys you’re going to have a problem.

[polymuser]

Ummm...hunters have been checking their guns for decades. A great many others do it all the time. See, we can actually take our guns with us when we travel, just like our underwear and medicine.

God, please rid America of ignorant minds, soon.

[politicianslie]

I wouldn’t want to be caught short defending myself like all this people in concealed carry Florida.

In this scenario (as I understand it) you could NOT have retrieved your gun in the baggage claim area and legally loaded it.

You may have had a gun when the Muslim terrorist sympathesizing Puerto Rican started shooting but it wouldn't have done you any good.

[Afterguard]

Partly true. One can carry in the unsecured portions of the boarding-side of the terminal and in the bag pick-up section. No security in either. Tat’ll probably change now... TSA checks at the front door, in the rain anybody?

[polymuser]

Btw, gun has to be in a hard case with a lock and announced at check-in.

[smokingfrog]

Yes, we can.

Does anyone know where & when he purchased the gun.

[rktman]

Not in FL.

[Wonder Warthog]

There is a simple fix for this. If a gun and ammo are in a checked bag, simply have TSA put a locking seal on that bag that can only be opened by another TSA station key. Traveler picks up his bag at baggage claim, goes to the TSA station, seal is removed, and the traveler goes on his merry way.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Keep in mind the Islamists have a long term view of how they will conquer the world.

Just maybe the game plan for the Islamist shooting at FLL is to create new laws restricting guns.

If the Islamists can take away our guns, then they will have smaller problems taking over the USA.

Europe is in major trouble because they have highly restrictive gun laws while at the same time importing millions of Islamists.

Let’s be real—in a free society, there are many (crowded) public places that you can just walk into and open fire. In an airport, the police probably have a more rapid response time than most places. The only special thing about airports is the amount of disruption such an incident can cause.

[politicianslie]

The real problem is that this guy is a danger

the ONLY answer is to REMOVE the Muslim terrorists from US shores. This scumbag was a Muslim sympathesizer but he had a history that could have identified him as an Anti American terrorist.

EVERY Muslim is sworn to abide by their Koran. Their Koran tells them that their child raping Muslim prophet Mohamed will NOT return until the world is 100% Islam. Until then, infidels are target practice.

The next group of innocent Americans might include your wife, your kids, you parents, your preacher during a Christian service that offends the Muslims.

It's what Muslims do, they kill infidels. Convert or die, that's how they play the game.
