I think this has been blown out of proportion, sure Robert did wrong in taking a gun to the airport. But he also claimed the gun was his and was unloaded as well.Comment

He'll probably do time. Nobody beats this in NYC, especially in a time when our mayor is in a fight with the NRA for stricter laws.Originally posted by ИATAS View Post
Even if you leave out the gun, he had 3 illegal mags that arent allowed in NY or CaliComment

It doesnt have anything to do with the fact that it was an airport, its the fact that he didnt have a license for it in NY, making it illegal and also had 3 illegal mags that are illegal in both his home state of Cali and NY as wellOriginally posted by bigsmoothh View PostComment

Why does he even need a gun while he is on a talk show? Does he really feel that unsafe or paranoid of an attack in another state?Comment

NEW YORK - A leader of a tea party group was
arrested after he took a gun to LaGuardia Airport.
Tea Party Patriots co-founder Mark Meckler was
taken into custody Thursday morning after he
tried to check in for a Delta flight to Detroit with a
locked gun box containing a Glock pistol and 19
cartridges of ammunition, Queens prosecutors
said.
Meckler, 49, declared the weapon, as required,
authorities said. He's licensed to carry the gun in
Grass Valley, Calif., where he lives, but that
license isn't valid in New York, which has strict
rules on carrying concealed weapons, they said.
"He didn't have a correct understanding of the
law," said Al Della Fave, a spokesman for the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey, which
polices the area's main airports. "Though he has
a permit to carry in California, that did not cover
him in the state of New York."
Does the Tea Party still matter?

Meckler spent the day in jail and was arraigned in
Queens late Friday afternoon on a felony
weapons possession charge. He was released
pending a Jan. 12 court date.
The charge could carry prison time, but travelers
who are arrested in such cases and appear to be
trying to comply with the law typically pay fines.
The name of Meckler's attorney wasn't available
Friday, and attempts to contact him by phone and
electronic message were unsuccessful.
AND HERE IS THE OUTCOME OF HIS ARREST
On December 15, 2011 Meckler was arrested at
New York's LaGuardia Airport and charged with
criminal possession of a weapon, a felony under
the gun laws in New York. While checking
baggage for a flight to Detroit, Meckler presented
a Delta Airlines agent with a locked case
containing ammunition and an unloaded Glock 27
pistol. He had a permit to carry the weapon in
California, and incorrectly believed this allowed
him to carry the gun in New York as well. He was
released following arraignment.[18][19] He
subsequently plead guilty to disorderly conduct.
He was sentenced to a $250 fine, and the pistol
was destroyed.[20]Comment
