Sheriff in Nancy Guthrie Case Allegedly Brought Undeclared Gun to TSA Checkpoint

TSA staff found five rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber, according to an incident report cited by Fox News Digital.

  • On November 6, 2024, a TSA X-ray technician at Tucson International Airport discovered a loaded, undeclared firearm in the carry-on bag of Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, prompting him to miss his original flight.
  • Nanos is leading the investigation into the February 1 disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, a high-profile case that remains unsolved despite ongoing efforts by the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
  • At a public meeting, Conservative Coalition of America president Cory Stephens complained that regular citizens would have faced harsher consequences, telling Fox News Digital on Friday, "If a private citizen had encountered that at the airport, the consequences would have been greater."
  • Defending his team in a KVOA interview this week, Nanos denied early investigative mistakes, stating, "You cannot attack my department," while insisting his staff works hard daily to keep the community safe.
  • Nanos told NBC News last month that it is "silly to tell people" they are safe regarding the Guthrie abduction, noting the incident was likely targeted while acknowledging the department remains focused on the investigation.
