Spouses Blamed for Loaded Guns in Airport Carry-Ons

A man was cited by police after a loaded gun was found in his carry-on bag at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The man blamed his wife, claiming she had packed his bag without knowing about the firearm. This incident marks the sixth firearm found at the airport in three weeks, with a total of 28 firearms confiscated so far in 2023. The TSA will impose a financial civil penalty on the man, and the maximum penalty for carrying weapons is $15,000. Gun owners are urged to be responsible and aware of where their firearms are stored.
