The loaded gun that Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Shaun Rogers was arrested for carrying at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport on Thursday was cocked and had a bullet in the chamber, according to a police report.

Donna J. Miller of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports those details from the police report, as well as the fact that the semi-automatic handgun was on safe mode and had seven bullets in the magazine and one in the chamber.

Rogers told authorities he put the gun, a black .45 caliber Kimbra Ultra II, inside his bag during a visit to Detroit and forgot he had it there until it was seen by airport security when he put it through an X-ray machine. The police report said Rogers has a valid concealed pistol license in Michigan. He played for the Lions from 2001 to 2007.

Rogers was planning to fly to Houston with fellow Browns defensive lineman Robaire Smith.

What the hell is a Kimbra? Ohhh...A Kim Bra, Reggie is gonna be pissed.

If I was going to carry a gun to an airport.......wait...I wouldn't do that.

That's how a 1911 is carried you goobers. Cocked and locked. There's no point in carrying a firearm if there isn't one in the pipe.

You should also carry it tucked in the front of your belt. Only sissies use a holster. Real men aren't afraid of shooting their balls off :sosp:

He should have gone the Michael Vick route and concealed it in a water bottle.

What the hell is a Kimbra? Do they mean a Kimber?

But it never ceases to amaze me how dumb some athletes are. And it really goes to show you that they never change. You can move a guy from place to place and hope that the "change of scenery," will do them some good, but it won't.

No matter how many times they move, how many times they spend the night in jail, how many tearful public apologies and promises to be better, the bad ones are recidivists, and should be avoided like the plague.

TO will always be a locker room cancer;

Roethlisberger will always hook up with drunk chicks;

Sharun Rogers and Plax will always carry loaded guns;

Greg Frye will always be a douchebag;

and Pac Man will do all of the above til the end of days

Guy I know did this same thing... but it wasn't loaded. He got off with a warning.

Agreed, but in the airport? New heights of stupidity.

Happens all the time. People forget what they have in their bags.

"Oh, so THAT'S where I left my loaded .45. Silly me."

I see where your coming from.. however, I don't think it sounded like what Shaun Rodgers did was premeditated or him being reckless because that's his schtick..

sounds to me it was an accident.. I can see that happening.
