The leader of the Tea Party was arrested at LaGuardia with a unloaded Glock 27 locked in a case that he presented at check in. Handguns are illegal without a lic in NY of course.

It is unclear if this would be covered under FOPA as he was not in a vehicle or what his point of origin was at this time.

Meckler is a big supporter of 2A and an attorney. I expect a court fight on this one that could go on for years (unless maybe they offer him a light misdemeanor plea/charge).
