"There is not an airport official in the world who would say that carrying an AR-15 makes sense. So the question is why would that be allowed to happen?"
"Instead of the police approaching me, they need to start educating the public. Put up signs in the airport saying firearms can be legally carried in the airport."
The first quote is from Kathryn Grant, cofounder of GunSense Georgia Coalition. The second is from Jim Cooley, who recently carried an assault rifle and 100-round magazine through portions of Hartsfield-Jackson.
Cooley is right: his heavily armed stroll through "nonsecured" areas of the airport was entirely legal, under Georgia law.
But it left a lot of people asking, "How do I know this is not a terrorist? Do I have to wait until he starts shooting to find out?"
