Why haven't we discussed this yet?

Rick Derringer Charged With Gun Possession in Airport (http://bestclassicbands.com/rick-derringer-gun-charge-2-11-17/)

He needs it for protection because Sloopy lives in a very bad part of town.

I guess he wants to become an Air Marshal when he grows up.

My buddy who has insisted for many years that Suzi Quatro and Rick are the same person emailed me wanting to know if the gun was registered in Suzi's name. Unfortunately for Rick, he's too full in the face now to be confused with her.

When somebody gets caught and claims he does it all the time, I'm skeptical, even considering how much supposedly gets by airport security. Has it ever been okay to take a loaded gun onto a commercial flight? I doubt it. How can he not know that?

I was in the San Francisco airport the year Sammy Hagar had the same issue.  I was walking next to him for a few minutes before I knew it was him (he's REALLY short).  When they found the loaded gun in his luggage, he stated that he had always taken chartered or private flights, never a commercial airline.  Packing the gun was normal for him.  The FBI believed him and let him off the hook.  Now, whether the same is true for Derringer, we don't know, but that's always a possibility.

If you'd been abducted by aliens like Sammy was, you'd always want to carry a gun too.

Dave's hunch was right, it is her:

Other evidence points to the realization too that history needs to be rewritten:

Otoh, didn't Rick always have a hand for slightly risque settings?

I had to look that up. She starred in a 1986 revival of Annie Get Your Gun in London.

Rick's a great guitarist, but that's pale compared to Hank Jr.'s cover, which pales next to the original.

I had the great pleasure of witnessing the original at the Hammy O some years back... one of my musical heroes... rip
