I obviously am not keeping up with handgun trends - and had no clue these existed.

They've been around for a while now. Not much use that I can see.
The number of people that show up at a TSA checkpoint with a firearm is shocking (to me)..
If we changed the law so that a first time offender would not go to prison but rather get a probation of 5-10 years and a condition of probation is that they couldn’t own or possess or touch a firearm.. the intent is not to deny someone a firearm but rather to stop firearms appearing at airports..
Virginia had a similar domestic violence proposal.. there were a lot fewer women with black eyes..
How would that help the problem of stupid people bringing guns into airports? After all these years of the laws against weapons in airports, people still bring them seemingly on a daily basis. Hell, there are even signs posted that they walk past on their way to commit a federal crime. Like the saying goes, "there ain't no fixin' stupid"!Quote:

Just trying to figure How to spread the word…
BTW.. Was at a party in Southwest Virginia near Virginia Tech.. a friend was telling two of us from DC Metro area that he was coming up for a big Virginia Tech football game at FedEx Field (NFL).. we advised that he didn’t want a hotel near the stadium, no matter how good the deal.. really wanted to drive back to Virginia (10 miles)…. We are advised that it’s ok because he has a carry permit.. you could hear a pin drop.. he couldn’t believe that his permit was not honored in Prince George’s Maryland and the DC jail is probably Safer than PG.. and he would see the inside of the PG jail (they had a States Attorney that made a hanging judge look like a softie).. just an example of some who doesn’t Pay attention to what’s going on..
It seems the TSA is doing a pretty good job at stopping the weapons before they get on aircraft. That's only supposition on my part because we will never know how many weapons actually flew. All we will know about are those weapons that are used on an aircraft and I don't recall any of those recently.
I'm all for a mandatory banning of firearms ownership and any manner of possession for a lengthy period, at least 10 years, with no early termination, upon conviction of possessing a weapon in airports. No deals, no deferred adjudication. Maybe some jail time, too, depending on the circumstances and criminal history. Lifetime ban if weapon was intended to be used for a criminal act, and a hefty jail sentence to go with it.
A second conviction would carry a lifetime ban of firearms ownership or possession. Period. No chance of redemption. And, a minimum of 20 years in jail, no early parole. This person is too stupid to own a firearm.
