Assemblyman Tim Donnelly was cited today for having a loaded gun in his carry-on bag at the Ontario airport.

The Twin Peaks Republican was stopped at a security checkpoint about 6:45 a.m. and eventually cited and released by airport police, said Nico Melendez, spokesman for the federal Transportation Security Administration.

Donnelly and a spokeswoman for his office did not immediately return phone calls today. Donnelly was flying from Southern California to Sacramento today for the start of the 2012 legislative session.

Donelly's carry-on bag contained a loaded .45 Colt Mark IV handgun with four rounds in the magazine and a spare magazine with five additional rounds, Melendez said.

6. Donnelly is a classic right-wing nutjob.

Both Jon Stewart (John Oliver interview) and Stephen Colbert have put him on display. Let's hope he gets time for this. He doesn't believe in criminal rehabilitation.
