I just don't see how that's possible. You forgot? How? did you make a last minute trip to the airport to catch a flight?
Nope! Hundreds of flights and never so much as a spent casing. Yowza!
I could see it. If you carry daily, it just becomes a part of you. Like wearing a watch. You don't even notice it and it's habit to always have it on. You just space it out that you're not allowed to take it some places.
I accidentally carried a knife with me in my pocket when not checking a bag and gave it to the car shuttle driver to put back in my truck, but I can't really see forgetting you have a gun on you when flying...
Had a friend fly with a full magazine in his carry on that he didn't realize was there until he was getting ready to fly home a few days later. No one saw it going through originally.
I forgot about my knife when coming home from SHOT show last year in Vegas, so into the trashcan it went. It was not an expensive knife it was like a $50.00 CRKT but better to throw it away than take a trip to the pokie for trying to carry it on a plane.
It used to be you could carry, loaded on a plane. Now, OMG... Horrible person. We all know where this is going if we don't stand up for our rights. I wonder how many on here will say something along the lines of "different times". That just tells me Bin Lauden won. Terrorisms point is to change the way a people think and act. How are we thinking and acting after 9/11?
I forgot a knife in my pocket on my last trip. Showed it to TSA and put it in a mailer behind the checkpoint. Cost me $15 and about three weeks without that knife. Funny part was the X-ray machine operator was supposed to maintain possession and hand it off to another agent. Instead he gave it to me and I had to flag down another agent to mail it. I could have just put it in my pocket but I value my security clearance too much.
I could see people who use the same duffel bag for range/gym/traveling making a mistake and not emptying it before throwing stuff in for a trip. I'm a little skeptical that someone forgot a loaded .38-cal strapped to his leg and even more that someone forgot 200 rounds and 2 loaded mags in addition to the pistol. If nothing else, the weight should have told him something (unless they were .22s).
