据多个消息来源称，周二早上，北卡罗来纳州的共和党议员麦迪逊·考森(Madison Cawthorn)在夏洛特道格拉斯国际机场试图携带一把装有子弹的枪通过安检时被抓获。
这是这位有争议的国会议员第二次被阻止携带武器通过机场安检。
运输安全管理局的官员在检查站发现了这把枪，于是打电话给机场警察。
夏洛特·梅克伦堡警方向考索恩发出传票，称其在市内持有危险武器。
警方说，他后来被释放，CMPD接管了枪支，这是正常的程序。
根据美国运输安全管理局的说法，个人第二次犯罪可能面临高达13，000美元的罚款。
国会议员办公室没有立即回应美国广播公司的置评请求。
Rep. Madison Cawthorn caught bringing loaded gun through airport security
Madison Cawthorn, a Republican congressman from North Carolina, was caught trying to go through security with a loaded gun at Charlotte Douglas International Airport Tuesday morning, according to multiple sources.
This was the second time the controversial congressman has been stopped trying to bring a weapon through airport security.
TSA officers spotted the gun at the checkpoint and called airport police.
Cawthorn was issued a citation for possession of a dangerous weapon on city property by Charlotte Mecklenburg police.
He was later released, and the CMPD took possession of the firearm, which is normal procedure, police said.
Individuals can face fines up to $13,000 for a second offense, according to TSA.
The congressman's office did not immediately respond to an ABC News request for comment.
