In 2014, a total of 2,212 people tried to carry handguns onto commercial airplanes in the United States. One of those incidents happened in Fort Wayne.
So far in 2015, though, even more people have tried to board planes with guns, and it's happened five times in Fort Wayne so far this year.
And about 90 percent of the time the guns are loaded. |

This REALLY needs to be explained?
Oh, well. I guess some people are brain dead. |

Every time I read of someone "Trying to board a plane with a GUN!"
I think of the LAST time I flew out of Midway, and the ticket agents kept TELLING ME that since I'd identified the gun and done the paperwork and all, I could now carry it in my CARRY-ON luggage!
They even called over a "Supervisor" and asked him "about the recent changes in the law, which allows declared guns to be carried on."
I said that I DIDN'T want to carry it one!
They grudgingly put it in the stowed luggage, but it was really against their insistence and efforts!
FLYERS BEWARE!

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
