According to reports, Zino said he forgot to take his gun out of a laptop bag when he arrived at the airport.

Benzino tells us he stores his gun at home in a laptop bag — unsafe, we know — and when he left for the airport Tuesday night, the producer forgot to take his 9 millimeter out of the luggage. Benzino adds, “This is an unfortunate situation that was a huge honest mistake and I will always check from now on exactly where it is.” (TMZ)

Details of the shocking bust landed online Wednesday (January 28) morning.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Benzino put his carry-on bag on the conveyor belt at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. A suspicious TSA employee dug inside and found a loaded 9 millimeter firearm with 7 rounds in the magazine. Benzino didn’t make his flight to L.A., but he did get his very own escort to the local jail. He was released on $3K bail. (TMZ)
