Man raises eyebrows carrying rifle through Atlanta airport

[GGJohn]

ATLANTA — A man carrying a rifle inside Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport wasn’t breaking any laws, but he did raise a few eyebrows, including those of some police officers.

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.
“You never know where something might happen,” said Cooley, posing here with his daughter at the airport.

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

This is what was posted in the other group"

Gun Nut raises eyebrows carrying rifle through Atlanta airport

And of course, the obligatory penis reference:



What is it about the gun control proponents and the sexual innuendos?

Now, because I was chastised by the host of the other group for not providing commentary on another thread,
Here's my comment.
Yes, this may be legal, but it shouldn't be done, it hurts the gun rights movement and alarms patrons for very little gain.
Also, a 100 round drum? Those POS's are useless, they jam up very often, I myself would never own one.

1. re: the headline, does even this asshole not qualify as a "gun nut" in your world view? nt

4. Let's have your opinion then

If it was legal for him to carry there, what type of firearm do you think he could openly carry without being a "gun nut" and/or "asshole"?

You're complaining that an AR-15 with a 100 round drum is an asshole engaging in over-the-top gun nuttery, but where is your lower threshold? Tell us what would have, in your opinion, be the upper limit for a non-asshole, non-gun nut level of obeying that open carry law.

2. Whats her excuse?

I see.




Whats her excuse? Small clit syndrome? Small breasts syndrome?


You guys ought to be ashamed of your sexism.

8. I've always wondered about the surefire mags...are they reliable?

It's pretty obvious the lady in the pic is some kind of competition shooter, but how about the surefire mags.

Anyone tried them???

5. I agree completely with your comments

This guy is just wants attention and he got it. Makes RKBA people look bad and does not help the cause. !00 round magazines are stupid, prone to jam wand putting that much ammo through a weapon will just ruin it if they worked anyway.

Does not surprise me the childish sexual references over in that "safe haven" group.

6. An AR pistol I could maybe understand, but not a full length AR.

I could somewhat even understand the rifle considering...but the stupid jam-o-matic drum mag is a one way ticket to death.


Myself I feel awkward open carrying...

7. One has to wonder if this guy wasn't a Mommy member or other banner type.

No real 2A progressive would carry a shitty drum magazine....I'm going to assume this guy is either a journalist or belongs to some gun ban organization.

9. My experience checking in a rifle was uneventful, except...

when it came time to pick it up at the carousel. Since it wasn't there, I looked at All the carousels and couldn't find it. Finally, I looked at a few loading docks in the carousel area, and found it sitting openly sitting on a shelf, unattended. My concern was it could have been stolen in the 35 mins it took to locate it.
