Armed Courthouse Goer: Oops

The woman accused of trying to bring a loaded gun into the Spokane County Courthouse said she never meant to harm anyone and simply forgot she had the weapon with her. “I would never purposely take a weapon into a courthouse,” said Stacey L. Atkins, 22. “That would just be dumb.” Atkins was cited for two misdemeanors Thursday and released after security found the Bersa .380-caliber semi-automatic pistol in her purse as it passed through the X-ray machine on the north side of the courthouse/ Meghann Cuniff , SR.

Question: Have you ever accidentally carried a weapon of any sort (including a pocket knife) or contraband item through security, whether caught or not?
