Title: Celebrities Err Too
Post by: LivingDeadGirl on July 26, 2017, 03:57:35 PM
Early this year, TSA declared that a record number of firearms were confiscated at airports across the country in carry-on luggage (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-4147780/Record-number-guns-carry-bags-airports.html). Knowing that more than 3,000 people, accidentally or intentionally tried to take a firearm through the security process. It is nice to know that celebrities make mistakes as well.

The most celebrity to make the mistake is country music star Scotty McCreery, a licensed concealed carry holder, honestly forgot the weapon was in backpack. (http://people.com/country/scotty-mccreery-loaded-gun-airport-checkpoint/). He joins the ranks along with Pittsburg Steeler Senquez Golson (http://www.tmz.com/2017/04/12/pittsburgh-steelers-senquez-golson-gun-airport/), Rocker Rick Derringer was caught after a flight with a firearm in his bag, so he got through security and he claims he flies at least 30 times a year and has never had a problem before (http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/02/10/rock-musician-charged-with-having-loaded-gun-on-delta-flight/), rapper Coolio was caught at the airport with firearm , plus he cannot legally have a firearm (http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-coolio-firearm-charges-lax-20161013-snap-story.html), Shemane Nugent was arrested a few years ago (https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2013/08/29/ted-nugents-wife-arrested-after-gun-found-in-carry-on-bag-at-dfw-airport), and many more professional athletes just to name a few.

They are only human after all.
