Ninny Of the Wk., At Least

Man With 16 Guns Arrested At LAX
Holcomb said there was no indication the man was out to do any harm at the airport and was apparently there to pick up someone. "He just made a very bad decision and should not have been carrying those weapons," Holcomb said. Airport police routinely set up vehicle checkpoints at roads leading into the airport's central ring roads, but Castles said it is rare to find so many weapons at once. © MMIX, CBS Interactive Inc.

We've named this poor bastard Ninny Of The Week even though neither we nor, apparently, he had the slightest idea that random vehicle checks were conducted at airport perimeters. Cruelty & incivility abounds.

"... the 45 is my kill them before they can kill my family, but when I travel with this guns, they are properly locked in their boxes and the ammo box is locked as well, that is California law and I feel very safe in transporting my guns in this manner." Posted by KEITHGARDNER Why would they kill your family? Who are "they?" Why am I still alive, since I don''t own a gun?

California state law, would allow most guns and rifles, as long as the guns were locked up, and the ammo was locked in a seperate container. If, there is a posted restriction prior to entering the airport roads, then there might be some additional legal restriction. You just can not drive around in California with a loaded weapon (gun or rifle). That would not be the case in Nevada, where, you can not enter the airport proper with a gun, unless you are law enforcement, but to pick up someone on the curb, you could legally have a loaded gun in your car or on your possession as long as the gun is in unobstructed sight. Not even a concealment license would allow you to enter the airport or bank with a gun or any establishment that post a "No Firearms" poster on its property "such as a shopping mall". O own 3 guns and 1 rifle. 1911 45, 357 magnum 6 shooter, 22 6 shooter, I keep all of them locked in a box, except for the 45 which is loaded but not chambered, the 45 is my kill them before they can kill my family, but when I travel with this guns, they are properly locked in their boxes and the ammo box is locked as well, that is California law and I feel very safe in transporting my guns in this manner.

"He just made a very bad decision and should not have been carrying those weapons," Holcomb said. Is there a California law that anybody can quote, or perhaps an airport regulation, limiting the number of firearms in ones car, or the amount of ammo:)? Lot of people buy a few cases of surplus ammo at a gunshow, so at 1000 rounds per case, they must have an illegal ammo dump in the back of their car, no?

Remember, only the California governor/Terminator is a qualified expert in shooting two firearms at the same time, one in each hand, and because of his special robotics and computerized targeting system he can actually hit his targets! That muzzle loader is a hoot, he was most likely planning to shoot down an airliner with that .50 caliber rifle!!! The suspect sounds more dangerous by a minute to me. He should be hauled off to Guantanamo for 24/7 interrogation. Of course the California has an anticonstitutional law which bans "unregistered" assault weapons, so they could potentially get him for that technicality, but, as usual, insufficient information has been provided. As in many such cases, after police get their 10 minutes of glory, when it is found out that no actual crime has been committed, no further followup is provided by the newsmedia, so we will probably never know what happened

Sounds like cops patting themselves on the back for the "job well done". It must be boring spending your life stopping cars for those "security checks". Starting with the usual inflated estimates of 37 weapons, and an ammo dump of maybe 10 million rounds in his pickup truck, which immediately makes the suspect an international arms merchant, ready, able and willing to support the entire Hamas terrorist network. Are those 10 handguns 10x more dangerous than 1 handgun? Does the suspect have 10 appendages, so he can shoot them all at once? Did he have 10 holsters to carry them all concealed on his body? Or perhaps a baby carriage cart to haul them into the airport?

Secondhand smoke from the musket posed the greatest danger of all the weapons.

Was he headed for the O''barfi fest in Washington!
