Details: An unnamed Chittenden County resident will face a TSA fine of up to $3,000 for accidentally carrying an UNLOADED .22 caliber Bernardelli pistol in his carry-on baggage at the Burlington International Airport. Burlington Deputy Police Chief, Bruce Bovat, said the man will probably not face criminal charges, "this was a good citizen who made a stupid mistake." Transportation Security Administration provided guidelines for the transportation of guns, including: "Firearms are prohibited in carry-on bags, but can be transported in checked bags if they are unloaded, properly packed and declared to the airline."
NO law will prevent crime. No law will stop criminals from getting guns. Gun Control only effects the law-abiding citizen and the politicians know it.
