That doesn't sound like a good idea. Probably should have taken it back to his car.

He was probably very far away from it.

He was probably very far away from it.

Then he probably should have said, screw it, and found something else to do. Only an idiot would do what he did. I really don't even understand how that thought would cross someone's mind as being logical.

However, before he returned to the line, he stowed his loaded pistol under a couch cushion in the lobby of the World Center Hotel, which is right beside the entrance to the memorial.​

When Jackson, a concealed carry permit holder in North Carolina, took a trip with his wife and daughter to the World Trade Center, he made a decision that quickly turned him from typical tourist to suspected terrorist: He carried his pistol with him to New York.

According to The New York Times, while waiting in line to enter the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, Jackson noticed a sign that read, “Prohibited Items” and had a silhouette of a handgun. He then asked a memorial employee, “whether law enforcement or police officers off duty were allowed to enter armed,” to which the employee answered no. Jackson stepped out of line and returned a few minutes later.

However, before he returned to the line, he stowed his loaded pistol under a couch cushion in the lobby of the World Center Hotel, which is right beside the entrance to the memorial.

That was stupid, I don't care where the couch is. I'm late to the party here, but what if a 2 year old found it?

And however you feel about laws, you should know the environment you're in. This dipshit cop clearly did not. He's so used to exceptions for himself, I guess he thought it worked like that everywhere.
