SALISBURY, MD. – Transportation Security Administration officers at Salisbury Regional Airport stopped a Wicomico County. Maryland, woman with a loaded handgun as she was escorting her child through the airport’s checkpoint.
The Salisbury, Maryland, resident was not ticketed to fly, rather she requested that the airline provide her with a “gate pass” for the purpose of escorting her child to the gate for a flight. The woman was found to be in possession of a .38 caliber handgun loaded with six bullets, including one in the chamber. It was detected when the woman’s bag entered the TSA checkpoint x-ray machine, where the gun was spotted by a TSA officer who was staffing the x-ray monitor.
It was the first firearm detected at the airport this year. One firearm was detected at the airport in 2017.
TSA officers notified the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Department, which responded to the checkpoint and detained her for questioning.
As a reminder, individuals who bring firearms to the checkpoint are subject to possible criminal charges from law enforcement. Even travelers with firearm permits are not allowed to bring guns onto airplanes. In addition, TSA has the authority to assess civil penalties of up to $13,000 for weapons violations. A typical first offense for carrying a handgun into a checkpoint is $3,900. The complete list of penalties is posted online here: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/civil-enforcement.

I wonder if she’ll get a slap on the wrist like that politician when he got caught for the same thing and was permitted to fly right after getting caught?
what do you think should happen?
She must have been listening to that nut case that posts on here about carrying without a permit.
Handguns should be required for all crew and passengers to keep everyone safe.
It depends on who she is married to and how much money they have.
Why is her name being withheld? The politician's name was made public immediately.
Same thing happened to a NASA employee from VA as 2-3 years back. No name, no record in WICO, and no other details.

Exactly. Something is fishy about this. Did she have a permit to carry a gun, if so that may be normal for her. If she didn't have a permit, then I would be more suspicious of her intent. Was she going to harm the child?
They were quick to name that REPUBLICAN county council member from Sussex County.

Why is that person a nutcase? This is a free country. We should have the right to carry guns in this country if we are sane, unlike you.
You must be that nutcase Libtard that always posts on here.
Shes probably from Salisbury and needs to carry a gun. Her only crime was to not leave it in the car while she was in the airport.
Where is her name ? Bet she is a cop or the DAs friend ??????
Politician name was announced immediately because you people forget they work for us and it should have been.
It was probably an honest mistake and if they are not going to press charges then her name does not need to be released! Life moves on!
By not releasing her name, they are protecting her. She is a cop, politician, on one of the elites of Maryland, as the common citizen is barred from concealed carry in Maryland.
4:18 I'm a republican and a law abiding citizen. That nut case goes by Imclain or Insain. Always telling people to carry without a permit on this site. THAT IS ILLEGAL and will get you a felony charge which means your right to have a gun goes away.
It will get leaked or someone will file a FOIA request. Speaking of FOIA, where is the drunk Julie B. video that was going to be posted here if WBOC didn't post it?
Wow! I was under the impression that the People’s Socialist Republic of Maryland has laws and policies that preclude ordinary law abiding citizens from owning and carrying firearms. Maybe she just didn’t get the memo! I recall being thirteen and walking down Berlin Road outside Snow Hill with a .22 rifle over my shoulder and a High Standard Double Nine .22 revolver holstered on my hip and a State Trooper stopped and told me not to shoot near the highway and drove off. Still have the rifle but can’t recall what I did with the revolver. Maryland in the fifties and early sixties was a great place to live and grow up in. Breaks my heart to see what has happened to Salisbury, Snow Hill, Pocomoke and the rest of the shore. The whole state for that matter. I am almost seventy six and have observed the disasters created by liberalism and Marxist/socialist politicians and their agenda. Sadly, it has been incremental and therefore not so noticeable to our younger generation who have been indoctrinated through the public education system and the liberal bias of all the media. In my opinion things have gone way too far for us to regain the freedoms we have lost. Unity, not diversity was once our strength and I’m afraid that is gone forever. Almost glad that I won’t live long enough to see what my grandchildren are going th have to deal with.
5:05, you, I, and Imclain have a Second Amendment right to carry. I have training and a permit, yet Maryland refuses to honor it, and their reason is about cash, not protection of human life, which is more valuable.
Screw you and your stupid felony.
Do you think Rayshawn gives a fu_k about a felony while he robs you at gunpoint in Maryland?
No, he just pulls the trigger and laughs.
Bs not if is protecting himself or others No jury would EVER Convict
Cheers 5:26. You nailed it. Diversity is never a strength. Communists know that. Turning America into the third world will result in them picking over the spoils.
You better hope I'm not on the jury. I follow the law, have my MD permit and will convict those that break the law. You are no different than your hypothetical "Rayshawn".
6:48 I hope I'm on the jury with you. Your one of the elites in MD that got a permit. The rest of us law abiding citizens don't stand a chance in hell of getting a permit. I will vote not to convict.
You made a great point.

Idiots.
Oklahoma passed a bill that would let residents carry a gun without a permit. It's not the first state to do so
Already the law in 12 states
The Oklahoma bill is similar to so-called constitutional carry laws in 12 other states -- Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming -- where residents are free to carry guns without permits or licenses, according to the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action and the Giffords Law Center To Prevent Gun Violence.
7:18 Just like a democrat that promotes breaking the law. Blame everyone else because you are not smart enough to figure out how to make yourself eligible to get a MD permit.
Ummm, I case you can't follow along skippy, we are talking about MD. IDGAF what they do in Okalahomo.
The Second Amendment does not differentiate between concealed and openly carried arms. Such differentiation was not discussed during the debates about the Second Amendment. It was decades after the Bill of Rights was ratified that concealed carry was questioned. Arms technology had not changed significantly.
There were no colonial statutes that separated the carrying of concealed weapons from the open carrying of weapons.
The Kentucky legislature passed a statute forbidding concealed arms in 1813. It was challenged in court.
The statute was found unconstitutional in Bliss v. Commonwealth of Kentucky, in the state Supreme Court. It was 1822, three decades after the Second Amendment was ratified. Any restriction on bearing arms was contrary to “the right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the state“, and was therefore void.
The court reasoned that any diminution of the right that existed when the Constitutional protection was adopted, was an infringement of the right, and was therefore unconstitutional. The logic is impeccable.
Federal laws have never been passed against the carry of concealed weapons.
In 2008 the Heller decision made clear what it meant to bear arms. Scalia quoted Justice Ginsburg's writing in a previous case. From cornell.edu:
Justice Ginsburg wrote that “[s]urely a most familiar meaning is, as the Constitution’s Second Amendment … indicate[s]: ‘wear, bear, or carry … upon the person or in the clothing or in a pocket, for the purpose … of being armed and ready for offensive or defensive action in a case of conflict with another person.’ ”
“..in the clothing or in a pocket” is carrying concealed.
Laws against the concealed carry of weapons are vestiges of laws designed to keep slaves and free blacks disarmed.
In 2010, the Supreme Court held the Second Amendment is incorporated against the States by the Fourteenth Amendment, finally doing what the Court should have done in 1873.
Adam Winkler, an Constitutional scholar at UCLA, has written that allowing only open carry may be the best way to discourage bearing arms in general. He made the case this might be the most effective way for the California legislature to chill the exercise of the Second Amendment.
Vermont has never required a permit for open or concealed carry. Twelve states have reformed their laws to allow the carrying of weapons, concealed or openly, without permission from the government, since 2003. They call it Constitutional Carry.
Both open carry and concealed carry are protected by the Second Amendment. Restricting the bearing of arms to either open carry or concealed carry is a clear infringement of that right to bear arms.
All these "law-abiding" citizens are so blind and dumb. No one has to take their rights away, they voluntarily and gladly give them away. And try to take other people's right away with them.
They need to stop thinking they are better than other people and do what is good and right for ALL people. You are not only hurting other people but yourselves as well but are too ignorant to understand that.
If someone saved me from bodily harm or death by using a firearm, I wouldn't give a hot damn if he had a permit or not, was "allowed" to possess a firearm or not, or anything else the "law" says he has to obey.
The only firearm charges I would vote to convict would be if someone used it to commit a crime such as a robbery or murder. Simply possessing one or ammo? He would walk every time.
Judged by 12 or carried by 6
Idiot liberals carried by 6 pass on the jury.
The government cannot give you any rights that they haven't taken away first.
You must be retired popo to think like that and have a CCW in Maryland. I don’t trust you.
It’s “you’re”. That’s the contraction for “you are”.
To all,
If I am on your jury, and please ask for one, I will back your 2nd Amendment rights over any State law in force no matter what. I have served jury time before and look forward to being on yours.
Correct. We ALL should be able to carry!!! (And no I'm not THAT guy y'all are talking about)
I would be right there with you. Not guilty!!!
WOW!!! What if you made a mistake while defending yourself with your permit firearm? Would you want us to throw the book at you and you get 20 years or would you want us to use common sense? But I guess your right....the law is the law!!! 20 to life for you my good law abiding citizen!!
So many Sheeple!! Sad Sad Sad
There is a difference between a mistake and the willfully breaking the law by carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.
Good one 10:55
i found out her name annie oakley
You are worried about Rashawn and im worried about Ryan with the "mental health" problems. Go figure...
Do enlighten us kind sir on how to make me eligible. Surely you are full of wisdom if you speak of such things.

Or the other 12 states too right? It seems you don't even care what they do in Maryland either. Matter of fact, is there anything you DO care about? If you want to be a sheep and ward of the state, that is your misguided business, but don't take others down with you because you are ignorant.
Your type is dangerous to everyone's freedom and rights. I wouldn't want to be you when TSHTF. The very ones you kowtow to won't protect you and the ones you try to repress will be hunting you down.
It will be too late to care then. You and your ilk reap what you sow and it will be deservedly so.
1:21 Start a business that has cash receipts that need to be deposited in the bank. Buy some rental properties and collect rent. Get a job for a property management company collecting rent. It's not difficult to show the need for a permit if you handle cash as part of a business. The permit will say that you must be engaged in banking activity while carrying. Banks like BOA have ATM machines that accept cash 24 hours a day. It is easy to meet the requirement of doing banking business.
Someone know who this is! Can you let us in on the secret?
She should get a complete background check and if it's found not to be licensed for she should be charged and jailed with no further access with a handgun in this county and state.
lmclain here.
Jury Nullification (a RIGHT your "leaders" don't like you to know about). I'm glad to see some of you know about it. It REALLY irritates prosecutors, but, there is nothing they can do about it. "We, the people" decide who has done wrong and the law is only a small part of it, if any at all, in the jury room. CITIZENS decide the measure of right or wrong and it is only their conscience that they must follow in the jury room.
Carry a gun. The police and the above-noted cheerleaders having NOTHING to fear from regular citizens carrying a weapon. Absolutely nothing.
No one does, except bad guys. Even though the police are rarely around to stop it, they much prefer that you are killed than for you to be able to have a chance at preventing it from happening.
And the slimy politicians who surround themselves with guns but tell "we, the people" that WE can't be trusted with our rights -- THEY will determine which ones we can have? Their day is coming, too.
Two Sets of Laws have slapped some of you silly.
Carry a gun. Protect yourself (and others), if necessary. Know about Jury Nullification.
Get off your knees, while you're at it.
Let the party begin.....
We know about it and will never let you get away with breaking the law by carrying without a permit. If you pull it or shoot someone, you will go to jail. There are more law abiding jurors than you think. If you don't like MD laws move to Vermont or WV.
How can all of you gun "experts" not have noticed that the gun pictured is not a .38 but rather a .380 acp?
Let me just speculate that she was an off duty cop but in this crazy world she still was in violation of the stupid law.
7:58...You dummy. I've carried a gun for DECADES.
No civil or criminal record. Not even a seat belt ticket.
Just go ahead and do what you are told. Obey. Submit. Shuffle along.
I'm not moving anywhere, either.
For the record, son, law abiding citizens don't break ANY LAW using Jury Nullification. They are merely telling the State that they dont' think the accused did anything WRONG. Maybe broke the law, but not their idea of common sense or right and wrong.
Like I said, get off your knees, cheeleader.
Thank you May 13, 2018 at 7:58 PM, you are correct. I was wondering why it took so long for someone to pick up on that. A ".38" is a revolver cartridge (usually a ".38 SPL" or ".38 SPL +P"). Unless it's a super ".38", which would then be a ".38 Super". Most .38 Supers are run on a 1911 platform (which the image is NOT). The size of the gun in the picture would lead me to believe it is in fact a ".380 ACP", not a ".38 Super", and most definitely not a ".38 SPL". After zooming in, I would go so far as two say a two-tone Beretta Pico. Google the image yourself. Tombstone Tactical has one for sale and is described as: "Beretta JMP8D25 Beretta Pico Pistol .380 ACP 2.7in 6rd Two Tone". Either way, good job TSA on catching this.
If you carry without a permit, you are breaking the law. You are a stupid old fart that needs to go away and stop enticing others to act illegally. For the record, I'm not you son and my parents are related as yours probably were cousins or closer.
Laws made by men who think THEY get to tell us which rights (read that again, you goof) THEY will ALLOW us to use.
They can tell me to do 55MPH, they can tell me not to steal, they can tell me to keep my hands to myself.
What they CANNOT do is tell me I'm at the mercy of any criminal with a weapon, while THEY CARRY A GUN and surround themselves with other men with guns.
Their NUMBER ONE JOB is our security!! Do YOU think they have OUR security in mind?? Or just THEIRS???
Close your eyes, click your heels together and say "I wish I had a shorter dress".
Lastly I DO know my father. YOU only have 50 suspects.
You are otherwise known as a sheep.
May 10, 2018 at 7:47 PM:
He's not a sheep, he's a cop.
Imclain the insane should take his medications. It so sad that you live such a bitter existence. You are the criminal with a gun. I hope you get caught and locked up. You are why people want stronger gun laws.
No, I'm not.
Any of that.
You just don't seem to like being a free man as much as I do.
get off your knees and be a man.
