Another firearms arrest at Albany airport is reported in the news. I am in Florida and am hearing about this. Someone please fill in the details on this arrest. Apparently someone from SC was arrested at Albany Airport when they tried to properly check a handgun. Reason as reported was because they did not have a NY permit.
There must be something more on this. Anyone up there able to fill in the blanks? I believe this happened to someone else in very recent history at ALB.
What I am reading is a Delta Airlines counter agent called Albany County Sheriff when a man from SC tried to check a Springfield XD handgun in .40 caliber.
Whats going on at Albany airport? Why does a ticket / counter person take it upon themselves to call the Sheriff when someone tries to properly check a handgun? Why does he get detained and have to post bail for a February court date? Sure screws up his life.
So whats the deal? Is there some information that is not making it to Florida? Maybe the guy was a Dick and did something very wrong? Was this action appropriate for some reason that is not being reported?
Geeeze!, I have checked both handguns and long guns at various airports across the country without a problem. Even Chicago!! Is this what I can expect to have to deal with in the future?
