Is it OK to Bring a Loaded Rifle into an Airport? This Guy Did It

The story of a man who walked into Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Friday carrying a loaded AR-15 semiautomatic rifle has gone viral. And here’s the most amazing part of it: his actions were completely legal, thanks to Georgia’s gun laws.

“People’s fears are not my responsibility,” Cooley responds, then goes on to explain his rights. “If you’re detaining me, then I’m going to have to file a lawsuit against the airport,“ he says.

Agree, and he thinks just the opposite

According to Cooley, he was exercising his rights: “If you don’t exercise your rights, the government doesn’t have any hesitation taking them away,” Cooley told WBS-TV Channel

At first I thought this was a political statement intended for exactly this response.

But perhaps that's giving him way too much credit.

SO what happens when someone else is armed and they each see the other as a threat?

Total ########. Comes off like he's got a screw or 10 loose. ETA - good on the cops for not biting and remaining calm.

Darwinism??

 

[mr roboto]

Jeez. Guys like this really help the pro guns cause.

 

[Dr Oadi]

Guns are so scary.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

Guns are so scary.

And so are some of the nutjobs who carry them. In public. Loaded.

 

[The General]

Complete dumbassery.

 

[[icon]]

I'm pretty pro gun rights but dip####s like this guy set the cause back. Moron.

 

[nirad3]

I hear banjos.

 

[Mister CIA]

Two of the bill's sponsors. Do you know how I know they are not banging each other?

I could see this as a funny saturday night live type of skit....Complete tool that is single handedly setting gun rights back.

 

[Bucky86]

But seriously....how is this legal? Did not we not already have a nut case shoot people up at LAX and make it into the terminal? Don't most states that are very pro-gun still have rules about carrying them into certain places?????

[tommyboy]

Loaded?

Meaning: one in the chamber? Or just a magazine inserted? Big difference, actually.

I'll take one nut job and three well trained black cops over a death and huge riot and it's not even close.

 

[BassNBrew]

I guess airports are city property but you would think the federal laws the TSA is enforcing would extend at least to the entrances.

There are a lot of sad and comical outcomes from this law. Imagine the law-abiding gun-toting citizen dressed like this.

 

[NutterButter]

This walking around anywhere with an AR 15 is just ridiculous

How the #### is that legal?

Don`t hate the player..hate the game.

 

[NutterButter]

I'm shocked we don't allow people to fly with an AR 15. Seems like a basic human right.

Not really.

 

[Gator Shawn]

I expected the cops to go ape####. I'm impressed they held it together.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

No kidding. I could not be a cop.

You shot him because you felt threatened?

Yep

But why 15 rounds?

That's all I had.

Yeah, it is

Not in this discussion/situation. The possibility of alarming people and the risk of causing a panic isn't really impacted by whether or not a round is in the chamber.

There's also a difference between the safety being on or off - but not a "big difference".

DOOSHY!

Maybe he feared an out-of-town NYC cop would rape him with a broomstick.

Happy to have a do-over if y'all are still sore about this.

I'm parsing, but there's a legal difference between chambered and not. This is the reason why law enforcement doesn't carry chambered weapons.

But I agree with your point. I was more wondering if the press reported it accurately. Generally they have no clue. I'd be surprised if this dbag had chambered round

Best weather, lower taxes, best college football, hottest women. No need for a do over.

Sure.

What are we doing over?

I thought Otis was channeling Neil Young's Southern Man schtick.

Saw this yesterday on the 11alive website. Top comment, I feel certain it's true:

Wesley Nichols

I know this dude personally, and in all honesty, he will go out of his way to stir things up with police. He is quite the dick nozzle.

For my notebook, in what area code do you reside?

In might be in your best interest to lie.

I know I'm gonna get #### for this but- if the dude had been black, it's very likely he'd be dead right now, shot by security police.

WTF are you talking about? Cops carry chambered. Everyone does, down to your every day cc permit holder.

He'd be treated the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKGZnB41_e4
