I hope you're not the one who posted bail for him. I would have let him have a good long sit in a county jail cell to thinks things over.
I now know of someone who has had his 15min of fame, kind'a.
So does GreeCguy................
So does GreeCguy................
Does he make a good living? I have an unmarried daughter still. I was in the Army for 26 years. Send him my way. We will go shoot some and have some male bonding time. He may be a little irresponsible or simply forgetful like me at times. I would not condemn the man for that. He may indeed make a great son in law.
This is a SERIOUS error!
He may be charged and spend many years in jail since it falls under federal law.
Hopefully he has a clean record, if not your daughter might get lucky and be able to avoid marrying this dolt. LOL

This is similar to the person here in Houston who went into a family restaurant not knowing he had a gun in his coat (?????!!!). It fell out, hit the floor, and discharged, hitting an elderly woman in the restaurant. Last I heard she was having to have thousands of dollars of spinal surgery.

Exactly, once very common! They didn't even make a giant stink if you were coming into Canada (at least not a giant stink compared to today). Back in the day, it was common for them to be sent home for six months or a year and their pistol shipped back to them.

Unless he would be a politician or a pro athlete.

Foregetting where your gun is isn't a little irresponsible...it's gross negligence, albeit whether it's loaded or not...

I forgot to feed my dog and it died. I forgot I had a loaded handgun in my carry on luggage with 6 cartridges. I forgot my baby was in the backseat of my car...
I agree with eljefino. While this isn't a violent crime but rather an act of stupidity nowadays you can get jail time for this in today's America. Like others have said many years ago this would have simply been an embarrassment. Most likely this is reason for most seized weapons on the planes and the TSA justifying its existence needs you to think the weapons would have been used violent on the plane.
Expect expensive lawyers. If I recall it is LEGAL to transport firearms on planes but there are special procedures to follow and you certainly do not carry it on your person.

As I recall from the other thread, this young man is a combat vet and, from the sound of it, also a CCW holder.
He's used to guns, being around guns, wearing guns, carrying guns, cleaning guns, storing guns, etc. It's becomes way of life. Second nature. Just another thing, except it's a very important thing, to be sure.
Traveling, going to different places, things are different and the daily routine is interrupted. Train of though is interrupted. Things normally done get pushed aside.
Add to that the wife. Any time I'm doing anything important and the wife starts talking to me I have to stop everything I was doing or I'm going to mess it up. When she stops talking, I figure out where I was and continue the task. More than once she has caused blood and injury when she interrupted me.
The kid should have kept it together better, no doubt. If it were me, would I freak out and go overboard as have several in our audience? No. I live a slower life and try hard to remember where my guns are at all times, but I've had to go back downstairs and get one before I went to bed. It happens.
If it happens too often, though, it would be time for a rethink of a persons life and habits.

I think they're different people. The veteran was an extant son-in-law, and this one is a future son-in-law.

Pretty sure the vet is a different guy (already married with children). And most likely knows better.
I usually like to go with "forgive and forget" but am actually a bit concerned with this. Greeguy made a comment that makes me think this guy might do this kind of thing often. If that is the case I think it might be better for the happy couple to go their separate ways.
Just my opinion anyway.

Was he arrested for it or just questioned?

Questioning doesn't require bail at the end to leave.

How about that he's 45 years old and getting married? How old is your daughter?
