Patricia had tried to declare her gun, which was unloaded and in a TSA-approved case. Avi was trying to declare an empty gun magazine–essentially a piece of metal with a spring in it.nnFor their effort they spent a day in jail. They were threatened with three years and six months in jail–the mandatory minimum for having a gun in New York. They spent months worrying about how to beat the charge. Each spent more than $15,000 in legal bills.nnEventually the government let them off with a violation–"public disorder."nnStossel says: Give me a break. He confronts the Queens District Attorney's office that prosecutes such cases.nnProduced by Maxim Lott. Edited by Joshua Swain.
