Ted Nugent’s Wife Arrested in TX Airport for Bringing Gun in Terminal

Shemane Deziel, wife of rocker Ted Nugent, has been arrested at the Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport for bringing a gun into the terminal, TMZ reports.

TMZ has very few details so far, and it’s not clear yet whether Nugent was with his wife at the airport.

Ted Nugent is a notable supporter of gun rights, and currently sits on the Board of Directors of the NRA.

We’ll update this post when more information comes in.

... and we must be missing some of the story, as it is not illegal to carry a concealed handgun in the airport terminal if you have a concealed carry license. I've done it many times. It is illegal to take it into the "secure area" of an airport (past the TSA checkpoints) but you need a ticket and a boarding pass to do that. There is no prohibition to having a weapon in the unsecured area (ticket desks, baggage claim, etc.) with a license. I did it just last week when picking up the granddaughter.

So I'll wait for the rest of the story. (Maybe she was trying open carry, which doesn't fly in Texas?)

The wife of singer Ted Nugent was arrested Thursday afternoon after security found a gun in her carry-on luggage at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

Airport spokesman David Magana confirmed that the DFW Airport Department of Public Safety took Shemane Ann Nugent, 51, into custody, and “the rest of it is working its way through our system of legal approval.”

Nugent’s attorney, David Finn, said that taking the gun to the airport was an “honest mistake.” Finn said Nugent has a concealed handgun license.

Finn said Nugent had worked late and got up early Thursday for the airport, and either “completely forgot or never knew the weapon was in her bag.”

If you lack the responsibility to keep track of your gun at an airport, you shouldn't be entrusted with any guns at all.

one has to wonder how you 'forget' that you put a weapon into a bag you just packed for a trip... I guess itd be a LITTLE like 'forgetting' your husbands a pedophile who cant keep his pants up while married :p

...around 1990 or so, the Nuge was performing with Damn Yankees. He was invited to be a guest on a hunting & fishing radio show...and was in the studio wired on coffee and who knows what else at 6am (the band had performed the night before) and was talking about his then passion...bow hunting. A caller asks Ted "do you take your wife bow hunting?" (btw...not sure which PYT he was on at the time)...he replies "you don't leave your poontang at home". Pretty much sums up what a "piece of work" this asshat is.

Looks more like stupidity than "making a statement". How romantic...his and hers CCWs...
