Dennis Farina: Arrested for Carrying Loaded Gun in Luggage
(I love that a picture of him with a nun is one of the first ones that popped up.)
So clearly this guy didn’t get the memo about airports cracking down on security threats like bottled water and nail files and figured his loaded .22-caliber handgun would make the cut.
Dennis Farina, who used to be on “Law & Order” and was in the movie What Happens In Vegas that just opened this past Friday, supposedly “forgot” that the loaded weapon was in his suitcase when it was discovered at Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday.
Dennis, this happens to the best of us. I mean just last week I tried to board a plane with my loaded grenade launcher and they gave me crap for it. Hello! I misplace that thing all the time!
So Dennis was charged with carrying a concealed weapon and that upgraded to a felony when authorities found out it wasn’t registered. He is being held in lieu of $35,000 bail and probably wishes he would have checked registering his gun off his list of things to do.
The kicker of the story is that Dennis is a former Chicago police officer. Nice work there buddy.
That would be a funny “Cops.” Scene 1: Dennis: “Yeah we’ve got some disturbance of the peace. We get this a lot in this area…blah blah blah…..” (the guy fights like a madman and says ridiculous stuff) Scene 2: “Glad you’re flying with us Mr. Farina…..Um..Sir are you packing heat?” (airport security knock over an old lady running to arrest him before he can pull out his backup nail file weapon).
