A Jeanette man was caught with a loaded handgun at a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport on Wednesday.
This is the second gun caught this year at the airport.
The man had the loaded .380 handgun in a carry-on bag.
While passengers can travel with guns, they must follow TSA rules.

Several guns have been caught at Pittsburgh International Airport so far this year which prompted Karen Keys-Turner, TSA's Federal Security Director for the Pittsburgh airport to release a statement earlier this year saying “The prevalence of guns being brought to our checkpoints by travelers has got to stop.
"Guns are not allowed to be carried onto planes; with or without a concealed carry permit. That’s no secret. It's common sense. No guns on planes has been a policy since long before TSA was established 19 years ago, so it’s nothing new. All of these individuals now face stiff Federal financial civil penalties that can cost them thousands of dollars."
