Florida resident Liliana Goodson, whose pronouns are they/them, was headed to clown school in Sydney. When they arrived at the airport, they were stopped with a Colt 45 pistol and ammo in their luggage. They were also carrying squirrel feet, rabbit pee, and a cat spine. The gun was 24-karat gold-plated.
Initially they claimed to have simply forgotten they had their gun with them. After all, who hasn’t placed a 24-karat gold gun in their luggage and simply forgotten about it? But a simple, important reminder is this: when you’re charged with a crime, prosecutors can get all of your Google searches. Presumably they’ll be able to get your Perplexity and ChatGPT questions, too. Goodson had Googled “Can I carry a gun in my suitcase?” before their flight.
Goodson, who has a concealed carry license in the U.S., added that they were “scared of shooting” the gun, “but in L.A. if you just brandish a weapon people will like scatter… I would probably just pistol whip until I got training again.”
…[They] pled guilty to importing the handgun and ammunition.

It’s unclear whether the result of legal troubles or poor clown skills, but since the arrest Goodson has been unable to get into clown school.
Australia takes gun restrictions seriously – though there are more guns in the country than there were before the 1996 National Firearms Agreement.
Americans bringing guns abroad is shockingly common. Often they just forget they have the guns, or the ammunition, carrying the same backpacks or duffel bags with them when they travel that they use every day when they shoot. And TSA regularly misses them going through checkpoints. Last year a state senator brough a gun to Hong Kong and wasn’t allowed to leave. And Americans keep bringing guns to Turks and Caicos.

They do not need to finish clown college. They are the town clown. Good grief!
Isn’t that very attractive nose thing an offensive weapon?
I hope the food is good down under.
Unfortunately mental illness is getting worse in the western world. Thank the education system for part of that problem.
This is what comes from shopping at Forever 21.
Them would be good in a carnival freak show.
I thought I saw her in the audience at the DNC.
It’s a shame that DeSantis was caught that way.
Usually it”s only boots with his other odd costumes… but clearly he’s letting his freak flag fly
If DeSantis could run for a t hire term in Florida, he would be easily re-elected. He is enormously popular in this state.
Your story on Boeing’s 777X was a good story. However, you forgot to use Spellcheck. Down in the story Boeing was spelled Beoing. No big deal, just thought I would let you know.
Thanks

What does non-binary or pronouns have to do with yet another article about American idiots with guns in their luggage?
She’s definitely part of the clown show of that well know idiot Chump, the grandiose clown.
Are we sure this wasn’t JD Vance? Vance has more of a history of dressing very differently than the vast majority of Americans.
This is what happens when you “affirm” a person’s mental illness instead of forcibly giving them some serious treatment.
For premium flights, choose Delta.
You had me at rabbit urine
“When they arrived …” and “They were also…” and “Initially they claimed…”
I’m not sure what’s worse, the fools that act this way or the fools that encourage it by using “their” language. Just stop!
Inquiring minds want to know if it is permissible for passengers to internationally transport liquid rabbit urine when packed in a carry-on and following the 3-1-1 liquids rule of 3.4 ounces or less per container not to exceed 1-quart size, clear, plastic, zip-top bag (all liquids must fit in the bag) and one bag per passenger.
Well we know that Tim Walz has no balls, so it’s possible it was shim.
Lol good for them, living their life with more joy than the sad folks commenting here
Yes, the non binary community is overflowing with “joy” — why else would one travel with rodent urine?
@rick that’s just Gary feeding his fellow right whingers.
“Coffee Please” is an idiot Orange Buffoon worshipper. But that’s ok, go ahead and continue to live your miserable life. People like you represent darkness, negativity, hate, fear and you all now belong to the past. And looks like you have come to the realization of that fact! America is now looking to the future. Jealousy breeds contempt. That must be why you made such comments about Tim Walz… what a miserable sorry excuse of a human being you are!
And Gary, aren’t you so sweet? Like someone above said, “what do pronouns have to do with yet another article about American idiots with guns in their luggage traveling internationally?” One day, I hope, right wingers will learn to not get bothered by what others do in their lives… and will stop manufacturing crises… How about “Mind your own damn business!”?
These idiots are the heroes of the left. Please don’t conflate this thing with the rest of us Floridians.
