This is intended to prevent accidental good-faith "whoopsies" like turning up at the TSA checkpoint with that pocket knife, loaded magazine, or even...God forbid...that little pocket pistol I hadn't seen in a while reappearing by surprise in a little-used side pouch.
I recommend this practice to other people, too, but that presumes that they're actually making a good faith effort to not accidentally bring a gun on the plane.
On the other hand you've got dudes trying to sneak guns in all kinds of improvised hiding places in order to avoid having to check a bag...or smuggle a pistol to a foreign destination.
And then you have whatever this dude in New Orleans thought he was doing.
While we're on the topic of people not helping the RKBA cause, let's consider this gun totin' school administrator from Texas:
Superintendent Robby Stuteville confirms the 3rd grader found the gun at Rising Start Elementary School back in January and notified a teacher immediately without moving or touching the weapon."Other than the obvious" is a great moment in Stating the Blindingly Obvious, there, Robby.
Stuteville walked KTAB and KRBC through the incident, explaining that both he and the school principal open carry on campus.
When he was using the restroom, Stuteville says he took the gun off and placed it in a stall, where it was then left unattended for around 15 minutes until it was found by the student.
“There was never a danger other than the obvious,” Stuteville claimed.
Maybe you should take a little break from going armed until you figure out how to safely go potty while carrying, Superintendent.
