Gun Nut raises eyebrows carrying rifle through Atlanta airport
A man carrying a rifle inside Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport wasn’t breaking any laws, but he did raise a few eyebrows, including those of some police officers.
Jim Cooley says he carried his gun through the terminal when he and his wife went to drop his daughter off for her flight. He says he knew he wasn’t breaking any rules because he has a full understanding of Georgia’s gun laws.
“You can carry in unsecured areas of the airport. Past TSA, never,” Cooley said.
That’s exactly what he did. Cooley carried his AR-15 fully loaded with a 100-round drum through parts of the terminal.

As a random person walking through the airport, it makes me feel nervous. I know nothing about this person carrying a high rate of fire weapon through a crowded airport. I'd be worried to turn my back.
As the gun carrier, he must be aware that a "good guy with a gun" knows nothing about this guy, and might decide that such a conspicuous display of a weapon might mean something amiss.
If I were in that airport terminal, I'd be reporting to security that there is a man carrying a large gun openly in the terminal. Acting suspiciously? Well, he's CARRYING A LARGE GUN OPENLY!
Oh, wait, he's a white dude, nothing to see here, apparently.
