Another Concealed Carry Permit Holder Arrested at Salt Lake Airport Deseret News Yet another gun was discovered by Transportation Security Administration screeners at the Salt Lake City International Airport over the weekend. Zackery Gage Ogden, 23, of South Jordan, was arrested Sunday for investigation of a weapons violation after screeners at the airport found a gun in his carry-on bag, according to a Salt Lake County Jail report. The incident marks the 27th gun seized at the airport this year. Twenty guns were seized in all of 2012 at Salt Lake City International Airport and 24 at all of Utah's airports combined. A person convicted of a misdemeanor or felony charge of having a firearm at the airport can have their concealed weapons permit suspended for up to five years in addition to any penalties the court levies. Did you catch that part about how they CAN have their permit suspended?  I wonder how many actually do? I doubt it's very many.  No, in spite of the bogus statistics they keep showing us, permit holders are as bumbling and incompetent as any other group.  They certainly don't make us safer.
