I don't know the airport parking lot laws in NC but I found this interesting. I put the emphasis on a few points of interest:
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Police say an Ohio man has been charged after authorities spotted him with a gun in a North Carolina airport parking lot as Air Force One was departing.
Airport police Capt. Kevan Smith says at about 2 p.m. Sunday, officers saw 23-year-old Joseph McVey get out of a car in the public lot and he was wearing a handgun.
Security was heightened because President Barack Obama was departing after vacationing in the state. The suspect was nowhere near the president's plane.
Smith says McVey's car had strobe lights like a police car might, but the suspect is not in law enforcement.
McVey is charged with going armed in terror of the public, a misdemeanor. Smith says the investigation into what McVey was doing with a gun and why his car was equipped with strobe lights is continuing.
