If what I read is correct the gun owner is a convicted felo who should not have had poseesion to begin with and was "entitled" enough to think he could take a loaded gun thru security and on to an aircraft.

emkostiuk..law enforcemnet officers are never on a "reserve" status..this was a felon who should not have had a firearm,let alone a loaded one,in the first place..i might add that unless you are an air marshall,or law enforcement person ecorting a prisoner,firearms are definitely NOT allowed,and those people check in separately with proper identification..this man was obviously unaware of the process..if you are wanting to have a firearm in your "luggage",you must fill out a form,show the agent at the ticket counter its unloaded,have or purchase the required gun holder ,and then check it as a piece of luggage..i worked years ago (long before tsa) with a lady who actually was shot in the foot by a man showing her his gun was "unloade"while checking his luggage..!

I think you misread the original statement.
User "Emkstiuk" is a Reserve LEO.
The person who had a firearm and accidentally discharged it is a 3 time felon, according to Emkstiuk's friends.

What? How can this be? Aren't there gun laws prohibiting felons from possessing firearms?
