Madison Cawthorn Pleads Guilty to Bringing Loaded Gun into Airport<\/h2>\n<h3>Accepting Responsibility for a &#8220;Mistake&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Former North Carolina Representative Madison Cawthorn recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-president-trump-to-pardon-gen-michael-flynn-per-report\/\" title=\"BREAKING: President Trump to Pardon Gen. Michael Flynn, Per Report\">pleaded guilty<\/a> to bringing a loaded gun into an airport last year. While prosecutors wanted Cawthorn to relinquish his Staccato 9 mm handgun, District Court Judge Cecilia Oseguera allowed him to keep the weapon. <\/p>\n<p>Oseguera ordered a $250 fine against Cawthorn, who had pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for having immediate access to a dangerous weapon on city property. The 9 mm gun, which was seized from Cawthorn at a checkpoint last year, will be returned.<\/p>\n<h3>Committed to Responsible Gun Ownership<\/h3>\n<p>Cawthorn&#8217;s lawyer, Missy Owens, stated that &#8220;Mr. Cawthorn accepted responsibility for this mistake. Law enforcement noted his cooperative attitude at every step. He chose to resolve this case in a manner that would ensure his uninterrupted right to possess a firearm. He remains staunchly committed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mo-state-lawmakers-push-forward-2nd-amendment-protections\/\" title=\"Mo. state lawmakers push forward 2nd Amendment protections\">responsible gun ownership<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Caught with a Gun<\/h3>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time that Cawthorn has run into trouble with the TSA for possessing a gun. On February 13, 2021, agents from the Asheville Regional Airport found a loaded 9 mm Glock inside his bag during the screening process. <\/p>\n<p>Cawthorn did not face any state charges at the time, even though there are local and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/madison-cawthorn-pleads-guilty-to-entering-airport-with-loaded-gun\/\" title=\"Cawthorn Admits Bringing Loaded Gun to Airport\">state laws banning bringing firearms inside<\/a> an airport. Airport safety officials tend not to charge an individual when they detect no criminal activity and when the person voluntarily removes the firearm.<\/p>\n<h3>Penalties for Carrying a Loaded Firearm through TSA Security Checkpoints<\/h3>\n<p>An individual who carries a loaded firearm through TSA security checkpoints can be punished with a fine ranging from $3,000 to $10,000 as well as federal prosecution. <\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to remember that responsible gun ownership includes following all laws and regulations regarding firearms. While Cawthorn may have made a mistake, he has accepted responsibility for his actions and remains committed to responsible gun ownership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former North Carolina Rep.
