Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police are warning people to leave their guns at home when they’re planning to fly this holiday season. So far this year, police have seized 135 guns from travelers at the airport’s checkpoints this year, a 30% increase from last year. Officers say most guns appear to have been left in people’s bags unintentionally, and people who own and regularly carry firearms should check before flying.
