Phillip Dominguez, a 47-year-old gun enthusiast, was arrested on Friday after police at a security checkpoint near Los Angeles International Airport noticed 16 pistols, four rifles, hundreds of ammunition rounds, and an assault rifle in the back of his truck.
Dominguez claims he was heading to a shooting range in San Bernardino, 75 miles away, with a friend flying in from Baltimore.
Even more surprisingly, it is legal to drive a truck loaded with weapons to the front doors of an airport terminal. Phillip was booked on felony charges because he failed to transport his licensed assault rifle directly to the shooting range as required by California law.
