On the 11PM news, he's being charged. Max time is 10 years. He better get a good lawyer.

Ha! surprise the hell out of me! Cant wait to follow this one. I wonder when they will cuff him? WGMD will be going haywire. I might even listen to them in the morning instead of west-wood one. That guy from Ocean view or Joan will never give anybody a chance to call in.

If he was a Dem, there would be no charges.

Not only do they need to protect us from DJT, the Senator from Sussex county could be just as dangerous.

I really doubt the sheriff's office down there cared if he was a Delaware state senator or not. That's not exactly a pinnacle of power. Sounds more like someone used some common sense and cut a guy who made an honest mistake a break. And since then the sheriff caved to all the publicity and they now are throwing the book at him. Too bad in my opinion.

Hopefully, he'll get a good lawyer and get PBJ so he doesn't have a conviction, which precludes him from even owning and possessing firearms and ammunition

I'm sure they are drafting the new law to allow politicians to carry.

It will be interesting to see which politicians are "more equal" and get to carry and which elected positions are considered just "little people" and are denied the same second amendment guaranteed rights.

This is a great case for the MGA...they are pushing hard to make any violation of the carry law a felony. Luckily Zirkin has had a bit of common sense regarding the issue.

The decision to charge may be politically motivated, but just not in the usual way. The recent push to allow for carry by members of congress could make this case significant in that his defense is protecting self and family in light of recent incidents.

You or I would have had the book thrown at us. He's getting the same treatment? Good. Suck it. This is how the rest of us have to live, how does it taste?

I'm firmly against special treatment for anyone.

People should stringly oppose this on principle, for a number of reasons.

The last thing this country needs right now is one more law that distinguishes the people from their so-called representatives.

yes but why not tell us why you're legal to do it.

Also please note my use of the word LOADED

And then only with permission of the PIC. I realize the devil is in the details but my statement was in reference to commercial aviation, which is what the thread is about.

yeah, a hair splitting is an entertaing past time here on MDS.

done it myself

TSA has TSIs Transportation Safety Inspectors. One of their duties is to look at the situation and then they can asses a fine to violators. There doesn't have to be any criminal charges.

^^^ This. Civil penalties, and IIRC fines can range from $5k - $10k for a firearm offense. Citation shows up in the mail, sometimes months after the event occurred. Catches most offenders completely by surprise.
