What was he thinking????

I'd think that a stunt such as this would qualify for a Darwin Award, or may be stupid criminals. Although I'm not sure he is one or just someone who is STUPID.

A man pleaded not guilty Monday to knowingly attempting to board a plane
with a loaded handgun, folding knife, and 10 syringes in his carry-on bag.

I mean how STUPID does one have to be to pack a gun, knife and syringes into the bag one is taking on a flight. If they are to be stored at another place, shouldn't they be put in a SEPARATE bag or box?

His lawyers explanation doesn't seem credible to me.

Defense attorney Ben Wasserman said at "the defendant's" bail hearing last month that his client had forgotten he was carrying the weapons. He said his client was on his way to Virginia to sell some property.

"The defendant" told authorities he had planned to put the gun and knife in his bag to take them to a safe in his garage, but didn't remember. Then he planned to leave them at his son's house, he said, but he was in such a rush that he forgot again.

Amazing. If the defendant is telling the truth, he is too stupid to be allowed to own weapons.

If he is a bad guy, he was too stupid to succeed. The odds of putting a gun and other weapons into luggage and expect to get it through security without getting caught, well that makes the odds on the Lottery look attractive.

Maybe he was to probe the security to see if such weapons could be gotten through or maybe he wanted to engage in his own private war. I just hope they take him out of circulation for a long LONG time.
