Any place where this can take place has seriously lost the plot on how it views guns.

A Georgia man openly carried a fully loaded AR-15 semiautomatic rifle into Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the busiest in the world.
Jim Cooley was armed with the weapon -- complete with an extended capacity 100-round drum -- when he went to drop his daughter off for a flight last Friday. Following the enactment of new state legislation in 2014, it's actually legal to carry a rifle in the open in the airport, so long as the holder doesn't attempt to pass through airport security.
Can you imagine this guy was black? Or better yet, a brown (muslim looking) guy?

Anyhow, I would never want to live in a place where people are allowed to bring heavy weaponry to an airport.

This is how you know gun support in the US has just become plain STUPID.
