This is about the most
moronic thing I have read all year long. I hope the crown courts throw the book at him. Just bloody pathetic

It was in hold baggage so obviously he wont have access during the flight

No bail??

Maybe not

He's not a resident and he can't leave the country until his next court hearing in October.

I'm not sure they would grant bail to someone with no residence in the UK.

I don't think that's the point

Its more to do with possessing an illegal firearm in the UK and trying to carry it from one country to another.

Its more to do with smuggling a weapon than intent to use it...

The fact that carrying a concealed firearm is illegal in the UK is only the start of Bomac's problems. If he was caught trying to board an air-plane with a gun, the penalty will be much more severe than if he'd been caught just about anywhere else.

For taking a loaded gun in an airport? lol highly doubtful

Absolutely. I can't see how he's not looking at some serious jail time, unless there's more to the story that exonerates him.

But if the story is as it appears so far, he's not getting off with a slap on the wrist.

Bomac has either been very, very ******, or somebody he trusted has let him down.

Unless someone else claims that weapon…I can’t see how he gets out of this without some life altering consequences. America is gun country and it’s normal to forget a gun in a bag (go to any airport in the south or Midwest and you will see it happen daily). Only thing I can think of is he flew private there and commercial back. Otherwise, he’s the dumbest fat fatty on the face of the earth.

Maybe he didn't pack his own luggage and somebody else snuck the gun into his bag? If he could convince the court that he was an innocent man who got duped by somebody else, they would probably be lenient.
