These Guys Are Not The Brightest Files: Kris Blanks Brings Gun And Ammo To TSA Edition
/Thanks to WeiUnderPar for spotting Chris Alcantara's account of PGA Tour player Kris Blanks forgetting the loaded gun in his backpack as he went through security at Palm Beach International.
Just after 6 a.m. Sunday, Kristoffer Blanks, was on his way to catch a plane headed to Charlotte, N.C., when he entered an airport security checkpoint and placed his black backpack onto an X-ray conveyor belt.
As the bag went through screening, a Transportation Safety Administration officer found a .40-caliber Glock 27 with eight rounds in the magazine, a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office report said.
Deputies responded to the airport, took Blanks’ bag and arrested him on charges of carrying a concealed weapon.
During an interview with deputies, Blanks said he forgot to take his gun out of the bag after he returned home from a road trip the week before, the report said. He added he did not have a concealed weapons permit.
But other than that, everything was kosher!
Kris hasn't mentioned the incident on his Twitter account...yet.
