But but but he's a "celebrity" they can do what they want and get away with it..all it does is cost them the fees and money paid to the counties then off they go..no doubt with the threat to the courts "you know who I am and what type of money i bring to your local businesses during a concert" blah blah
Yeah, how dare that fucking deviant try and board public transport with his own property!
Sometimes this forum, man, just...

Wes Scantlin is a drug addled buffoon with some serious mental problems. He shouldn't be allowed to have a cap gun.
I think anybody could see the problem with bringing a bb gun on a plane........except drug addicts and children.Yeah, how dare that fucking deviant try and board public transport with his own property!
Sometimes this forum, man, just...
I'm not a children!
But seriously, I don't see the problem. I guess I'm just not conditioned to "know better."
Who was the victim again?

But honestly, if I wasn't a member here or NYF at the time..I'd not no of anything about Safe "laws" (not that I care just like I didn't know) or legality of BB guns and whatnot..not following MSM and you really don't hear about BS stupid shirt that can get you arrested lol. But it's the way I prefer to live, much more stressless..
Its just being a sensible person.
The same reason you dont yell fire in a movie theater.
A known drug addict/alcoholic taking a bb gun out on a crowded plane will cause issues.
If I saw a guy waving a gun around on a plane, I would literally beat him to death.
I know dozens of other men and woman that would take a gun brandishing in an enclosed space.....like a plane......very personal and take it upon themselves to neutralize the threat. Im not going to ask if its a real gun, Im going to crush him instantly.
Let me say that him being charged with a gun crime is a bit ridiculous but he could have caused real issues if allowed to board with a "toy" gun.....so, he needs to get it through his wet brain that he was wrong.
There is absolutely no reason for a grown man to have use for a toy gun on an airplane.
Why did he do it? Maybe shock value? making a point? too drugged to know why?
Who knows, but if you think that the possibility of this douche waving a "gun" around on a plane is not concerning, you are a different kind of person.
1) What business is it of yours if he is NOT brandishing it, or otherwise acting in an inappropriate manner (and no, possession is NOT inappropriate!)
- nice article there. No mention on if it was in his pocket, his carry-on, his checked luggage, or stapled to his head. Nor what his behavior was at the time.
2) What if he felt threatened somehow, and wanted a way to defend himself that wouldn't also put the entire plane at risk? Regular firearms would punch through a fuselage and kill everyone, including the wielder.
3) What if he was taking it home to his kid and didn't know it was illegal?
I can think of plenty of reasons why a responsible adult would have a BB gun on an airplane. I don't subscribe to the false paranoia our current .gov inspires by the constant barrage of "guns are bad, m'kay". It is a person's behavior that keys me into whether or not they are a threat.
And seriously, whenever anyone says "there is no reason" or "you don't need" I get a powerful urge to re-educate them as to the truth of "Freedom". There is no one, other than myself, who "knows" what I do or do not 'need'. And no one, other than myself, who will say what I can or cannot do.

So the victim was...?
And your justification for the " guns r bad " beating would be...? I was in the army, therefore guns are bad?
Different level of logic on that one.
Some people will argue about anything! 
Agreed, Darth will argue senselessly about everything.Some people will argue about anything!
That doesnt even make sense.
Once again you have argued your point to nonsense.
Trust me, ive bern on this site long enough to know not many can reeducate me.
If you looked further into the insident you would have found that he tried to board the plane with the gun on his person.
So you are saying maybe he was carrying it to protect himself? Ha
your last paragraph just shows how little you know about freedom and living in a free country.
Find me where the founding fathers said "no one, except myself, who will say what I can and cannot do."
Thats not freedom, thats anarchy.
So, you believe wr should have no rules?
If you read what I wrote you will see I said he shouldnt be charged with a gun crime. However, there were other charges that havent been made public yet.
Also, a regular gun will not kill everyone if fired through the fuselage. It will just make a hole....if it even penetrates.
However, most people believe what you said, that a gun shot on a plane will decompressionize the plane and blow a big hole and everyone will die.
So, this guy gets on the plane and starts waving it around. The passengers believe they are all going to be sucked out of the plane and die. What will they do? Most will attack the guy, now you have a problem.
They not allowing him on the plane prevents that scenario.
Like I said in my first post, there is more to the story.
Maybe he said he wanted to hijack the plane.
Maybe he pointed the gun at people in the airport.
Maybe he threatened to kill someone.
They say there are other charges.
If he was bringing it to a child, why not pack it in his luggage?

I can say with 99% certainty that this guy was probably acting erratically. I have had to work in close proximity to this fool for several months and I can tell you his aberrant behavior is fairly legendary. Agree or Disagree the fact is that the current TSA standard is no weapons are allowed in the cabin of the plane by the general passengers so he violated the law. This dude is so out there he probably didn't even know what he was doing. He should be institutionalized and if not for having money he would have been committed many years ago.
Im not even really talking about the law. I have no idea if a bb gun on a plane is legal.
The airline itself doesnt want ANY guns in the cabin.
So are a couple people here saying a privately owned company shouldnt be allowed to make rules in their business?

Firecrackers are legal. Can I take a brick of them on a plane in a plastic bag? No victim right @Darth ? How about the people inconvenienced in line or on the flight trying to get to where they are going without a dumb fuck causing an incident?
@Grimscale , you don't really believe the guy was using a BB gun for self defense on a plane do you? I think deep down you do not but are alluding that he might have for the sake of an internet argument.

Grimscale is right.
All those things you just listed are prohibited, no need to prohibit the gun as well.
Furthermore, not needing to justify your needs to the government isn't anarchy, it's liberty.
The government needs to justify its bans, as in "there is no other possible way to go besides the ban".
Your need, and ability to demonstrate it, is irrelevant.
And "somebody might" is not sufficient to justify a ban. Read up on "prior restraint" sometime.
You can't ban printing presses because somebody might print something false.
No offence but he was wrong on every point.
Its like none of you are reading correctly, just typing.
For the last time!!
I DO NOT belive the government should ban ANYTHING!!
I an talking about RULES, not laws.
The airline does not want ANY guns on board, so this lunatic was stopped from boarding with a gun.
My first post says the should know that he is not ALLOWED to get on a plane with a gun.
A private companies rules, just like most here believe in everytime it comes up.
You guys brought up the government.
And, from the beginning I said HE SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED WITH A GUN CRIME!!
I do agree that people should not bring any guns on a plane. Pack them in your bag. Gun fire on a plane is never a good idea.
Can I bring my 12 foot alligator on an airplane,? its my property.
How about my 22 foot extention ladder? I own it.
Yeh, he makes a fake bomb and puts it in his car so people wont steal it.
Now trys to get on a plane with a "fake" gun.
