Loaded handgun nabbed from traveler’s bag at Richmond International Airport -
The gun was caught as the Chester, Virginia, man entered the security checkpoint. The X-ray unit alerted on the carry-on bag, which required a closer inspection. The firearm was removed by the local police who confiscated the gun and cited the man on weapons charges.
The gun, he claimed, was not his, and neither was the carry-on bag. Both items belonged instead to the man’s father, and the flier was apparently unaware that the gun was inside the bag. Richmond International Airport was one of the multiple U.S. airports that set gun seizure records in 2022, with 24 firearms confiscated. Of those guns, 92% were loaded at the time.
