1.) Michael McCann is the same guy who taught a 'Deflategate' course at UNH. So....a little homer take there, IMO.
2.) A lot of armchair lawyers in this thread. Myself included, LOL.
3.) Yup, it is 100% absolutely clear that you cannot bring a gun into ANY AIRPORT in the United States of America. Been to many airports in this country....and even there is a cool holographic of a spinning handgun with a slash through it floating mid-air above the TSA line at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport.
4.) IMO....and I am no legal expert...but occasionally stay at the Holiday Inn Express.... not knowing that guns were in your bag is a plausible defense. The law is the law and he broke it...no doubt about it. None at all. But if he was really unaware....a judge could sign off on a plea deal with the DA. I still think Jack will do some time, pay a hefty fine, probation, and take some safety courses. I mean...there are THOUSANDS of guns confiscated at airports every year and did every person do jail time? Bet many got off with a slap of wrist. I mean the charges were kinda drummed up here....two for having a gun, two for brining it into an airport, 2 for having a large capacity magazine, 2 for having guns loaded, and 2 more for carrying ammo without a license or something..... A good attorney could knock down a few of those...and plead Jones' ignorance...drag out this case to the point where Jones serves 3 months in the off-season and gets out after 6 weeks with good behavior. Again, I only occasionally stay at the Holiday Inn Express....
