No, that is NOT what I said. I said, know the laws in the places you are traveling and if you are diverted, ASK before you walk out of the airport with a gun when you don't know the local laws. If you think I am unreasonable, apparently you are wrong since this is the opinion that has been upheld. He had a duty to find out NJ's gun regulations before bringing a gun into NJ. He could have notified the police of his situation and avoided all of this. He can't sue them because of his mistake. Boo hoo. It was a mild inconvenience for his lack of knowledge. I'm sure he won't make the same mistake again.
