unfortunately for bowers this was in NYC - which means its incredibly likely that he sees jail time.
Nearly 80% of people the plea the charge down and enter a guilty in this situation receive jail time, if i recall the statistic correctly.
the law specifically has that theres essentially no excuse. People that properly pack weapons flying through ny, who say, miss a connecting flight and have their bags given to them at the airport to wait til a flight the next day have been arrested and served time for accepting their bags from the airline (with a legally stowed gun in the checked bag). Daquan tried to walk in with it carry on.
and there isnt. period.
If you're not aware of current regulations regarding the laws of where you are going, you're an idiot and deserve whatever fine/punishment is handed down to you.
