The sheriff’s department took the hand gun, which was unloaded, and then cited the man on a state weapons charge. According to the story from News 10 ABC, the gun was discovered when the bag went through the security x-ray machine.

He may have avoided a problem with bringing the weapon onto a plane if he followed the guidelines for firearms and ammunition on the TSA website, and also notifying the airline.
