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.

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:

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

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

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.

      Thank you so much for posting links to the players so I don’t have to copy and paste the name and look it up.

      All signs point to legit. We’ve been way better than our record the last few years it’s just we’ve had brutal injury luck. Also I’ve watched nearly every game this year and 3 things have stood out to me even when healthy from early in the year to now: 1. Early on Lee had some brutal rotations and situational coaching but he’s improved a ton there. We lost some close ones early we should’ve won. Sure most our recent games have been blowouts but in close games we’ve improved a ton there. 2. Defense. Overall team defense has improved so much, it’s not just hot shooting winning games. This D is absolutely a real trend and sustainable. LaMelo in particular has gone from flat out bad defensively to above average. We have so much length we always should’ve been good defensively but it took time for guys to buy in and really hone in on it which they have.   3. Pretty much all our young guys have taken strides forward. Moose’s development as a passer has been insane, Miller is putting it all together to be an elite 3 tier scorer able to hit 3s, mid range and finish at the rim. LaMelo still some poor shot selection but has cut the turnovers considerably. Kon has been a great shooter all year but has steadily improved in other aspects of the game too.      It has definitely been surprising how quickly it all came together out of nowhere but really none of it surprises me. We’ve been building towards this for years now.
