How do people do this by accident?
They're very, very stupid.
It's not an accident
He found the gun itself and turned it in. Why would he have it with him on purpose when he willingly decided to turn it in? It wasn’t found by airport authorities first.
Aye. I think Hanlon's razor actually applies here. Wacky as that is.
They're irresponsible gun owners is how.
I assume he's used to just blithely carrying around guns everywhere without thinking about it.
