Word has just been releasd, via TMZ, that rapper 2 Chainz was arrested at NYC’s LaGuardia Airport around 1:45 pm. Apparently, the Former Duffle Bag Boy had brass knuckles in his Duffle Bag which he attempted to carry onto the plane. He was entering the Delta Terminal at LaGuardia in attempts to fly to North Carolina for a show, it was then that TSA found the brass knuckles. Police are saying that he was taken into custody and charged with misdemeanor possession of a criminal weapon.

It is important to know that brass knuckles are considered a dangerous weapon in some states, with many of them banning the object for a variety of reasons. States such as New York, Ohio, and South Carolina all consider brass knuckles to be dangerous and, therefore, illegal weapons. They require the owner to have a concealed carry permit, and those found without one could find themselves having to deal with assault charges, fines, and find themselves sent to a detention center. Also known as knuckle dusters, metallic knuckles are now prohibited in many countries while others ban any hard knuckle like object outright. If you or anyone you know have found yourself in a brass knuckles related crime or have been arrested for possession, you may want to get in touch with a law firm similar to The Keating Firm LTD. It is important that you are aware of the steps needed should you find yourself in a similar situation.
