Man Tries To Fly To Las Vegas With Anti-Tank Weapon

Shawn Tempesta January 18th

The old LVCVA motto goes “What Happens In Vegas, Stays In Vegas.” Well, that assumes you can get that “what” into town. A man recently tried to get his anti-tank weapon on a plane headed to Las Vegas.

The passenger was attempting to fly from San Antonio International Airport in San Antonio, Texas on Monday. He was headed to the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show (or SHOT Show) happening through Friday in Las Vegas. The event is privy to the fact that weapons will be around. The Transportation Safety Administration? They weren’t.

When the TSA took a look inside, they spotted what you see above. It’s an 84mm anti-tank bazooka-like whopper of a weapon. Whoa. A little more dangerous than a nail clipper. Now, before you ask, yes it is legal to own one of these in Texas – you just need an extensive background check. Thank goodness.

You can’t bring a gun on a plane! (Can you?!)

Yes, you can actually bring guns on planes. It just requires that you have the gun unloaded in a checked bag, and that you declare you checked a weapon. Well, we declare, this guy did not do that. Because of that, the San Antonio Police Department is investigating and will determine if any charges will be pressed against him.

This story comes just in time for the latest numbers from the Transportation Safety Administration showing that the number of firearms found at TSA checkpoints is rising pretty dramatically. 88 percent of the firearms found without being declared are loaded, which is a huge no-no.

So, the next time you think about bringing your bazooka on a plane, make sure you let the nearest TSA agent know. This is your public service announcement, one guy with a bazooka.

    Here’s What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn This Week

    What an exhausting week! For the first time in nearly a month, they expected Aimee+Shawn to actually work five days in a row. What kind of sweat shop is this?!

    Well, no use complaining… it was a fun week of shows!

    Aimee had to do a full blown interrogation of her youngest son Roman. Turns out Roman dropped a big fat f-bomb, which is a no-no at only 3 years old. Where would he learn such language? Could it be from hanging around his older brother Jayden who plays Call Of Duty? No. It couldn’t be.

    Meanwhile Shawn has his own hands full on the parenting side of things. His sons Colin (6) and Mario (4) are playing a little too rough and more often than not, it’s Mario that gets creamed. This time, Mario has blood pouring from his mouth. Was Colin sad he hurt his brother? A little, but he was more sad he couldn’t see the blood!

    Have you ever calculated the amount of time you spend doing the most innocuous, repetitive things? Say, getting ready in the morning? We did the math and when you realize it eats up over three weeks of your year… just getting ready… it’s maddening!

    Aimee decided to leave her hair up to TikTok. She watched a video about the do it yourself “butterfly cut” and decided to try it for herself so you don’t have to. But you might want to!

    Shawn’s friend moved back to Vegas after leaving for a few years. Shawn made the move away and back before too. Why is it that most everyone that moves away from Vegas finds their way back to the valley?!

    Then on Friday the 13th, we welcomed LoriAnn Mans from The Palms’ “Brunched By An Angel” to get a grip on our, and our listeners futures and perhaps talk to people from our past!

    The show is back on Tuesday with more shows! Have a great weekend!
