A Texas man faces charges after police say he brought a gun to the main security checkpoint at Pittsburgh International Airport. The Allegheny County Police Department says TSA officers located the gun in the man’s carry-on bag just after 1:30 p.m. on Monday. Police say 42-year-old Erik Trask, did not have a valid concealed carry permit. As a result, ACPD charged him with a felony count of carrying a firearm without a license. The FBI was also notified of the incident. Passengers can travel with guns only in checked baggage if unloaded and packed in a hard-sided locked case. Then, the locked case should be taken to the airline check-in counter to be declared. TSA has details on how to properly travel with a firearm on its website. Bringing a gun to an airport carries a federal fine of up to $15,000, depending on the specific weapon and other circumstances. It is the first gun to be stopped at the airport’s checkpoint since mid-April.
