Via CNN:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A U.S. congressman was briefly detained at a Kentucky airport Tuesday after authorities found a loaded gun in his bag at a screening checkpoint, authorities said.
Rep. John Hostettler, R-Indiana, "completely forgot" he had the gun in his bag as he prepared to take a US Airways flight to Washington for the first day of work after a two-week recess, a spokesman for the congressman said.
Let's see. This guy (A) "forgot" where his handgun was, which is almost excusable, except he (B) had it loaded in a piece of baggage in the first place.
I mean, really. I can't even say anything about this, because the story says it all.
Enough people like this skulking about and I'll need to find a different hobby. Augh.
