Jim Cooley says he carried his gun through the terminal when he and his wife went to drop his daughter off for her flight. He says he knew he wasn’t breaking any rules because he has a full understanding of Georgia’s gun laws.

“You can carry in unsecured areas of the airport. Past TSA, never,” Cooley said.

That’s exactly what he did. Cooley carried his AR-15 fully loaded with a 100-round drum through parts of the terminal. ........

You just know that someone in Congress is waiting for one of these NRA nutcases to let loose in an airport, before approving legislation. Because that's how this country works. We are so crisis-oriented. Everything happens in a reactionary manner in Congress.
