When you care enough to send the very best...

Your Dumbass with Firepower story for the day. Sadly, from ‘round my way.

On Valentine’s Day, TSA screeners at Louis Armstrong International in New Orleans stopped a 52-year-old local (Jefferson Parish) man with the special surprises pictured above. Specifically:

TSA officers partnered immediately with a Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s deputy assigned to the airport. The deputy took control of the Palmetto PA-15 Multi AR firearm loaded with 30 rounds of .300 caliber ammunition. Five additional magazines were also loaded, bringing the total to 163 rounds in the carry-on.

Okay, not your usual Valentine gift, but hardly unique. The unnamed (why?) Jeffersonian was the second dumbass to put a loaded weapon in his carry-on at the airport.

That (again unnamed) Lothario had a different bouquet:

Earlier this week, a Glock was stopped bringing a total of 14 firearms stopped by TSA this year at MSY. 13 out of the 14 guns were loaded.

Those Casanovae will end up paying a thousand bucks more than they would have last Valentine’s Day, as the TSA has had to raise the fine for dumbasses stuffing weapons into carry-on bags. Because more dumbasses than ever are doing so.

Oy.
