Guns in Airports Okayed
February 16th, 2016 by Mike Vasilinda
Legislation allowing concealed carry permit holders to carry guns into no secure areas of airports narrowly cleared a Senate Committee in the State Capitol today. The legislation removes a ban on guns in airports. Sen. Wilton Simpson says the legislation will make airports safer.
“If you are taking a loved one to the airport to drop them off; any of those activities that you would do before they go past security checkpoint, you would be allowed to carry your gun without committing a crime. and prevent other folks potentially, from committing crimes because of it” Simpson told the committee.
The legislation must still go through two more committees, including Judiciary, where its chairman is refusing to hear two other gun bills this year.
