Today in IRONY: The Magazine Dedicated to Anecdotal Instances of Celebrities Getting Hoisted by Their Own Petards & Other Comical Juxtapositionings, Ted Nugent‘s gun-enthused spouse Shemane Nugent was detained Friday at a Dallas-area airport for trying to go through a security checkpoint with a loaded gun. Public safety officers at the airport arrested Nugent on a third-degree felony weapons charge, which carries up to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
Now, to the supplementary material. Nugent, who claims she carries a valid concealed handgun license, apparently forgot to unpack her Smith & Wesson .38 Special from her gym bag. She realized her mistake when a TSA official pulled her aside, and promptly informed everyone that, uh, whoopsie! she forgot to take my firearm out of my gym bag. Don’t y’all hate when that happens? (The Nugents, FYI, are pretty well known for their gun enthusiasm.) [Reuters]
