I like the expression on his face in his mugshot. It says, "Beware: I'm quite the ignorant tool".
Once when I toured the Capitol building in DC, I asked the security guy at the metal detector if anyone ever tried to bring a weapon into the building. He said, "oh, yeah. We had a guy with a gun here a couple of months ago".
How STUPID do you have to be to try to sneak a firearm into the front door of the U.S. Capitol building? I mean, really, of all places. There are, oh, I don't know, 1000 armed guards itching to waste any fool who twitches the wrong way. I guess PT Barnum was right. Did he think maybe they wouldn't check?
You can't make up stuff like that. It has to actually happen for it to be real.
