Kris Blanks arrested

We all know how unsafe Florida can be for golfers.

I remember one time a well known pro was attacked by a woman wielding a 9 iron....

man, how erm, not intelligent, do you have to be to forget you have a glock in your backpack, when you don't even have a permit. They are SO easy to get in florida, why he doesn't have one is beyond me.

On a plane? Without a permit? Are you serious? I love it when people suggest you read something they clearly haven't studied in depth...does anyone see any standing militias nearby?

Do you know where there is a standing militia I can join? I always wanted to fire a musket.

He won't get a golf suspension. That would be too political for the PGA, which plays in many gun-friendly states.
You don't need a CCpermit in your home or your car, or your temporary home in a hotel.

In [i][url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller"]District of Columbia v. Heller[/url][/i], 554 [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Reports"]U.S.[/url] [url="http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=CASE&court=US&vol=554&page=570"]570[/url] (2008), the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment "codified a pre-existing right" and that it "protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home"[sup][url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#cite_note-scotus1-15"][15][/url][/sup][sup][url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#cite_note-scotus2-16"][16][/url][/sup] but also stated that "the right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose". They also clarified that many longstanding prohibitions and restrictions on firearms possession listed by the Court are consistent with the Second Amendment.[sup][url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#cite_note-17"][17][/url][/sup]

I have not seen Kris Blanks on twitter since the incident haha. He knows he'll get ripped apart.

Blanks isn't alone, the TSA reported that they seized over 900 guns in the first 6 months of 2013.

Yup.

Not on planes. Sorry.

Do you remember 9/11? I'm not saying, just saying.

On a lighter note, I bet Melissa McCarthy put the gun in Blanks bag.

Can't help but wonder how that day might have been different if licensed, trained individuals had been allowed to carry while on planes.
