Ah, the lovely sounds of family.

Mike Huckabee's son tortures stray animals (and has Daddy get him out of the criminal charges), and then "forgets" he's carrying a loaded gun.

That's good old-fashioned Huckabee family values winning out, right there.

Little Rock Police Lt. Terry Hastings said "it is not unusual for people to forget they have a gun in their carry-on luggage".


what an absolute load of bullshit. In order to forget that you have a loaded handgun in your carry-on luggage, you have to fucking PUT a loaded handgun in your carry-on luggage. I challenge anyone to prove that putting a loaded handgun in your carry-on luggage is normal.

To be fair, I once boarded a plane with a pack of five small screwdrivers and a pricker which I had forgotten I had in my bag. I didn't notice it until I arrived, so I simply left them with my father-in-law, rather than brave the return trip.

But people who forgot they're carrying guns probably shouldn't be trusted with them.

You know what is the best? If it had been any Joe Schmo (or, Allah forbid, Ahmed Schmo) getting on a plane with a loaded gun, they'd be interrogated for 3 weeks and then sent to Gitmo, not out what appears to be later the same day.

My husband once boarded a commercial airliner with almost 5 lbs. of illegal fireworks in his pocket. He hadn't forgotten about them. In fact, he did everything he could to make sure he wouldn't get wanded or searched.

Of course, this was more than 10 years ago. He's smarter now, but only just.
