Huckabee's Son Arrested

From the Associated Press:

Twenty-six-year-old David Huckabee -- a son of presidential Republican candidate Mike Huckabee -- was arrested at Little Rock's airport today after an X-ray technician found a
loaded Glock pistol in his carry-on luggage.

David Huckabee -- who has a concealed weapons permit -- was charged with having a weapon in a prohibited place.

A sheriff's spokesman said he later pleaded guilty to the charge in Little Rock District Court, and was being processed at the jail.

Police say the 40-caliber Glock had eight live rounds in the clip but no bullet in the chamber. Police say David Huckabee said he forgot he had the weapon inside his luggage.

Mike Huckabee is the former governor of Arkansas.

Though what happened in this incident is not good, I was very impressed by the way both David Huckabee and the Governor handled it. There was no blame-shifting or excuse-making. It was handled very humbly and responsibly.
