NFL Player Arrested for Bringing Loaded .40 Cal Handgun NY Airport

NEW YORK (TheBlaze/AP) — Authorities say an NFL player has been arrested at a New York airport after police found a loaded handgun in his luggage.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Da ‘Quan Bowers was awaiting arraignment Monday on charges of criminal possession of a weapon. Meris Campbell, a spokeswoman for the Queens District Attorney’s office, said Bowers will be charged in criminal court on two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree. The charges carry a minimum sentence of 3 1/2 years in prison.

Bowers was arrested at LaGuardia Airport as he was about to board a US Airways flight to Raleigh, N.C. Authorities say the loaded .40-caliber weapon was found during a search of his carry-on bag.

Bowers played college football for Clemson University and was chosen by the Buccaneers in the 2011 NFL draft.

He’s in police custody and can’t be reached for comment by telephone. The Buccaneers haven’t returned messages seeking comment.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the matter “will be reviewed under our league policies.”

Oh because he went to Clemson he can’t be all that smart…just kidding..my son goes to Clemson so I had to throe in that dig. He knows my UN and reads the Blaze.

      So at the airport “at home” it’s ok to take a loaded gun on a plane? This guy is a moron and blaming NY for his arrest is just silly.

      Your ass would be going to jail in Texas just as fast although you’d probably have better luck understanding what they were saying while they were hauling you in.

    I think we should have a bring a gun to NY day and march on Time Square with 10s of thousand carrying. Have people from all over the country show up. The police can’t arrest us all and the ones who are should sue NY for violation of their right to bear arms, do it in a class action suit and sue for billions.

      Give me an effing break the man has aconstitutional right to gun a gun and was not up to some nefarious plot in carry in gun. This is another example of tyranny. Fact is if your dumd enough to bring your gun to the airport it should be confiscated nothing more. If you have a conceal carry you should be force to either locker it or put it in your lugage. It should not be a criminal charge involved. To all the pro-2cd amendment groups you’re looking for a rally call WELL HERE IT IS. Get behind this young man and fight tyranny.

      Gun ownership, that is… “Responsible gun ownership” requires following the law of the land, i.e. NY City, where it is illegal to carry a pistol.
      State Law
      “New York does not honor licenses or permits from any other states, though some states will recognize New York licenses without a formal agreement.[13] There are no provisions for an out-of-state handgun owner (other than on- or off-duty law enforcement, on-duty military or non-resident business owners with a NYS Pistol License) to carry a handgun within New York State. (Get this one) A pistol license is required to physically examine a handgun for purchase at a gun store or gun show. Wow.
      Do not get me wrong, I am not prepared to give up my rights to carry a LEGAL firearm, but in Cities where the whack job gubberment has already changed the scenario, I am NOT naive enough to think I cannot and will not be caught and prosecuted for an illegal firearms charge. Just because he is and NFL player, 6’3” and weighs 265 does not make him eligible to carry. You and I both know that. We need to be smart, and this was definitely one of the dumbest things I have seen lately, other Plaxico Antonio Burress who shot himself in the foot and was charged with a felony. “Good Bye Guns for him.”
      My motto, Stay the Hell out of NY, PHL, BAL, WASH, and BOS. I am very much at home clinging to my guns and my bibles, looking at the corn grow and the Amish buggies. Not smart ass, just a voice of reason.

Like I posted I can understand if they confiscated his weapon but prison sentence for exercising a Constitutional right is UNCONSTITUTIONAL UNAMERICAN AND EVIL. The young man made a mistake he was not up to nefarious plot to highjack a plane. When they evaluate murders as to bases the charges INTENT is the first thing they look at….Well what was this young man intent….He young black and has money…..His intent is obvious PROTECTION nothing more.

      Wrong! the second amendment guarantees the right to bear arms and the 10th amendment forbids the states and the Congress from violating those rights.
      The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people
      Just so you simple minds can understand I’ll break down for
      States can no more violate the right to keep and bear arms as they can violate your ramanders rights,or your freedom of speech,or your protection from unreasonable search and siezure.. The Constitution guarantees those right to be absolute.

      Yes I would and again like I said the airport could have the ability to confiscated the gun or require him to put in his none carry on lugage. But not criminally charge him as a felon. Being that he is a convient store clerk can totally understand why he feels the need for protection. It’s like one of the most dangerous jobs in America. So yes support mohammed if he a legal citizen and treat he as such.

      In New York it reads Speed Limit 55. Go ahead and Travel at a safe speed in NY.
      You will be arrested. That is STUPID

      Laws are laws and the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. The reason we are called the united states is because we are all united UNDER THE CONSTITUTION. Using your logic NY could eliminated your Constitutional rights to unreasonable search and seizure,free speech,marander rights,rights to trial by a jury of your peers…Just because the state legislation says so.
      I don’t know what hole you been in for your entire life. But get out of ..
      Your speed limit example is irrelivant since the Constitution doesn’t grant or prohibit congress from setting a speed limit those powers revert back to the individual states. But the 2cd amendment prohibits Congress and thus prohibits states from infringing on Constitutional rights in the 2cd amendment.
      I swear you people need to move to china because you are too ignorant to part of the American electorate. You would sales your rights and future Americans rights because of your ignorance to the how our Country and it justice system is set up to protect freedom.

      PA PATRIOT,
      I live by two major airports if I want to become a martyr. And if pushed hard enough I might do that. The point I’m making is anyone attempting to justify this UnConstitutional act doesn’t possess a critical thought process. If airlines want to ban guns in carry on lugage they can and anyone caught carrying a gun in the carry on can be subject to confiscation of said weapon,refusal to be allowed on the fly or from said airline in general or simply be required to place their guns in the non carry on lugage away from access during the flight. Business has the right to set policies on their costumers (no shoes ,no shir, no service) But to criminally charge a man with a felony for exercising his constitutional rights is fascist and Unconstitutional . This is against the Constitution on all levels.
      And pro 2cd amendment groups need to rally to this young mans side and give him support as well as some serious constitutional legal representation.

      Point taken Gonzo….On the other hand an American citizen has natural rights protected by law. I just want to hear his explanation. I believe a citizen should be able to take their firearm with them when they travel. Not in a carry on bag but checked certainly. I think this should be investigated no doubt but I believe in the bill of rights and I don’t agree I should have to give them up at the state line.

    He has got to obey the laws, and at this point, who doesn’t know that a mere citizen cannot bring a gun to an airport. That being said, what FOOLS we are as a people to arrest someone for simply having a gun in their possession. That is his crime??? Or is his crime the supposition that he MIGHT have done SOMETHING with the gun in the airport or on the plane? He is charged with criminal possession of a gun. So is he a convicted criminal who shouldn’t have a gun, or is he a criminal for simply having a gun?

I can understand if the security confiscated his gun,or required him to place it in his non carry on lugage. But the charge a felony for exercising his CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED RIGHTS is just another marxist law to permently ban him from his 2cd amendment rights. We need to bring the full force of the Constitution and the citizens that believe in freedom down on this tyrannical legislation. The man should in turn also sue the criminal justice system for violating their oath and his Constitutional rights.

      While I would not have made that mistake, I do think there needs to be an accommodation at airports for the individual to disarm without being arrested. There are plenty of crimes committed in airport parking structures and parking lots. Makes sense to defend yourself.
      TSA failed to do their job, and he gets punished. Things get hectic in airports and people do forget things. Again, I’d like to think I would not forget a firearm, but, I’m not him.
      Maybe a DMZ is in order? Allow you to disarm, secure your weapon into “a TSA approved” container, and submit it to them for transport. Metal detectors before and after? OH! Or maybe we could have stalls with TSA agents doing body cavity searches! Okay, I talked myself out of it. Lets’ just use some common sense, both as a passenger, and as a… um, “TSA agent.”

      The real problem here is that the government gets away with violating our 2nd amendment right to self defense just because we get on an airplane. Law-abiding citizens should be able to carry anywhere, including on airplanes.

      This is a fact: 9/11 would not have happened as it did had Americans been free to carry their own weapons onto planes. The terrorists had a “gun-free” zone in which to attack defenseless Americans on board those flights. If we had more freedom, Bin Laden likely would not have even tried to do this knowing the likelihood that at least a few passengers would be carrying guns and could stop them. Not to say they wouldn’t have tried something else, but they would not have been able to or even tried to turn those planes into missiles if not for our government violating our God-given right to self defense.

    Just goes to show you there is no 2nd Amendment. The fact that the government can arrest you for simply bearing arms is proof that the government is out of control. The entire reason for the words
    “Shall not be infringed” is so the government (in this case the Brits) could not arrest an American simply because he was armed. They were in the business like Obama of confiscating the weapons of the American Colonists. I think the ACLU should help this helpless black felon who is a felon only because the government created laws so that he would be a felon.

      Sad isn’t it?

      And the genius reporter or whoever wrote the story probably makes 100k a year, unbelievably.

    Did he have more than 7 rounds in the magazine? Is he licensed to carry in NYC? How many more state charges can be piled on in addition to Federal?

      What’s stupid about carrying a gun to defend yourself? You accept the liberal premise that the government can tell you when and where you can carry a personal defense weapon?

      This is how far gone we are as a society. This country has turned so far away from freedom that even Republicans agree that law-abiding citizens shouldn’t be able to carry firearms onto airplanes. Worked pretty well on 9/11/01 didn’t it?

      More freedom is the solution to most of our country’s problems. And here we are, the party of old white guys, many of us will be defending this black man against the tyranny of the state. Ironic, isn’t it?

    Americans have a right to bear arms, this guy has the money, he can get a lawyer and fight it?

    Loaded gun as in bullet in the chamber? No excuse for endangering the safety of others, a gun safety switch is designed for the weapon being in your hand, not bouncing around in luggage? You should be able to draw a weapon and chamber the round at the same time, no reason to have a loaded gun unless you are going to shoot someone in the next 10 seconds?

    This is a case of negligence, poor training, and they will want to make an example out of him? He did this on purpose, who puts a gun in the luggage and then gets on the plane? He’s never gotten his luggage stolen? Something does not sound right here? Fatigue from work?
