Omaha pastor stopped for second time at airport with gun in carry-on

[progressoid]

OMAHA, Neb. —An Omaha pastor was stopped at an Eppley Airfield's security station with a loaded handgun in his carry-on and is facing prosecution Sunday night because it's not the first time he's done it.

"I had to pay a fine," the Rev. Alvin "Dobie" Weasel said. "I had to meet with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and do an interview with two officers. I had to do an interview with a Transportation Security Administration officer."

Weasel, who has a concealed-carry permit, said he told authorities it was an honest mistake when he showed up at the airport with it in his bag, saying he thought his gun was at home in a safe.

"It's about 40 pounds and it's stuffed with everything," Weasel said. &quot I) think what happened was the gun fell in between two of the larger books."

...

Weasel said while FBI investigators were interviewing him, they also taught him having a routine is key to keeping track of your guns. He has since flown without any problems.

A father, grandfather and pastor of 33 years, Weasel said he asked God why he made this mistake twice and now he knows.

"And perhaps he's trying to use this so others can learn from my mistake and then perhaps he's using this to teach me, so that something worse wouldn't happen," Weasel said.
