The card-carrying "police major", who does electrical repairs on Kinloch police cars, was arrested while going thru airport security with a loaded pistol in an ankle holster. Not a department weapon and no evidence to date of a concealed carry permit. A federal offense in any case. The police chief has since retaliated by arresting an airport contract emplyee (with a gun to his head) for doing his job of picking up trash on airport-owned land in Kinloch, which has been a dumping ground for residents. When approached by the media, the police chief refused an interview and sped away in his car, violating two stop signs.

Thank you "KCV". Do you agree that NO ONE is allowed on the boarding concourse with a weapon except on official business and with the full knowledge and approval of TSA and airport officials? This was not the case. St. Louis Lambert International airport is a City of St. Louis facility and Kinloch has absolutely no jurisdiction.

"The card-carrying "police major", who does electrical repairs on Kinloch police cars, was arrested while going thru airport security with a loaded pistol in an ankle holster."
This portion of your comment is interpreted in that the individual IS a certified police officer therefore he would not require a CCW permit. However, if on official business at the airport as a minimum should have advised airport security that he was there on official business and armed!
As for the comments about the police chief....something sounds "fishy" and I would hope he was more professional than indicated in your comments!
I'm sure the media will open a few eyes if he's acting anything less than he should as a professional!
Best wishes!

I live in the St. Louis area and was thinking about just that issue. I feel that both will be prosecuted. The question is to me is whether it is federal or state. They both need some time in the cooler. Stay tuned.
