Have Gun, Will Travel -- To Jail





Patrick Burk is not among those who receive Bullet Points each Monday, which may help explain the 34-year old's arrest last week for criminal possession of a weapon atJohn F. Kennedy International Airport. Burk has worked as a bodyguard for controversial film maker Michael Moore, who advocates considerably more gun control laws in the United States. Bullet Points recently warned about the aggressive questioning air travelers receive when declaring firearms on flights from airports in New York. While checking in for a flight back home to California and properly declaring his unloaded pistol in his luggage, the bodyguard reportedly told police he traveled with Moore and a Mauser handgun into New York City, a place where many persons including Burk are not allowed to have a firearm. The irony of Burk's arrest and Moore's position on guns was not lost on the folks at the Second Amendment Foundation, or The Associated Press, for that matter. What's also interesting is that the judge arraigning Burk reportedly released him on his own recognizance after learning that he properly was declaring an unloaded firearm in checked luggage while traveling in interstate commerce. Unfortunately, he is not the first and likely not the last passenger traveling through a New York airport to suffer this fate.
