He was the fellow who took his long gun to the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=60256\">earlier this month<\/a>. His intention was some bone-headed plan to make people more comfortable with seeing citizens carrying scary black guns in public. Of course, Mr. Cooley neglected to consider the idiot drama queens&#8217; reactions to the news reports. Idiot drama queens like Georgia&#8217;s own Hank (Guam might tip over) Johnson who now wants to restrict law abiding citizens from carrying firearms in areas this side of TSA security checkpoints, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/transportation\/245019-bill-would-ban-guns-from-airports\">The Hill<\/a>; <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Transportation Security Administration rules currently prohibit passengers from carrying guns beyond security checkpoints in carry-on luggage, but some weapons can be packed into checked baggage if they are unloaded and locked in cases. <\/p>\n<p>Johnson&#8217;s office said the measure &#8220;would expand Homeland Security\u2019s jurisdiction to include non-secure areas of airports and would take precedence over any city or state laws that allow weapons in any airports nationwide. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The gun ban would include public transportation stops within airports if the gun owner departs the transit station at an airport,&#8221; Johnson&#8217;s office said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Law-abiding gun owners would still be able to carry guns if they are unloaded and contained in clearly marked, locked cases,&#8221; the Georgia Democrat&#8217;s office continued. &#8220;Airports would also be required to post signs that clearly indicate they are gun-free zones.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, because those &#8220;gun-free zone&#8221; signs have been saving lives since forever. Or not. When I go to airports to pick up friends and family, I carry a firearm concealed (if it&#8217;s lawful to do so) and I&#8217;ve never been approached by law enforcement, or the media. Nor have I ever shot anyone, but airports have been targets in the past and I don&#8217;t plan on being a victim. <\/p>\n<p>So thank you, Mr. Cooley, for knotting Mr. Johnson&#8217;s flowered, silky panties. Maybe Johnson can name his bill after you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You remember Jim Cooley, right?
