Titans receiver Brandon Jones was arrested and issued a citation at Nashville International Airport on Friday for carrying a loaded .32 caliber gun in his baggage, an airport spokeswoman confirmed. Jones was arrested about 11:40 a.m. on a misdemeanor citation of unlawful possession of a firearm. He was released and allowed to board a flight to Phoenix. "Obviously I did not know I was carrying my gun. This morning I grabbed a bag and placed my clothing in the bag, then rushed to the airport. I had forgotten that the last time I had used the bag was when I went target shooting," Jones said.

It's 11:40 AM. Do you know where your gun is?

Aren't you supposed to unload your gun AFTER you are done target shooting? Don't most people clean their gun AFTER target shooting? Don't most people remove the gun from the bag when they get home and lock the gun up in a safe place, away from children? Not this guy.

"I didn't know I had a gun." sounds as believable as "I didn't know I had my balls with me!"

a .32 ? Is he a woman Seriously who goes to the range to practice with a .32. Thats like saying my pellet gun was load still from the firing range where I was looking to work on my long distance sharp shooting. Again a .32 I did not think you could even buy those anymore. WOW Gangster!

Sure thing, DSF. A .32 is not something Dirtty Harry would pack but it's big enough to do some serious harm if in the wrong hands!

A Titan should at least be packing a S&W .44 Magnum!
