NBCNewYork.com reports that Bowers was arrested at LaGuardia Airport on Monday morning after police discovered he was illegally carrying a handgun. Bowers had a loaded .40 caliber firearm in his carry-on bag as he was attempting to get on a US Airways flight to Raleigh, North Carolina.

Bowers was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and is expected to appear in court on Monday evening.

A 2011 second-round draft pick of the Buccaneers, Bowers missed the first six games of the 2012 season with a torn Achilles tendon but returned in time to play in 10 games and record three sacks last season.

Little off topic, but the wife and I watched the news last night and saw some kid killer was sentenced 20 years ago and they are finally getting around to it. I mean, it's not like there was a long line in front of him. I just don't get it.

I say shoot his ass while he is dangling from a rope.

Also, Bowers is a fugging idiot. He clearly forgot to take the gun out of his bag but still. I just can't understand how the hell anyone could let this happen.
