State Rep. Lori Saine, arrested for trying to bring a loaded semiautomatic handgun through a security checkpoint at Denver International Airport, was released from the downtown jail on a personal recognizance bond Wednesday afternoon.

Denver County Court Judge Andrea Eddy also authorized her to travel outside of Colorado. Saine travels frequently for her work, according to her lawyer, Randy B. Corporon.

Corporon objected to the Denver7 television camera in the room. Judge Eddy acknowledged the objection, but noted that court policy allows a camera in the room and she had already approved the request.

According to probable-cause documents related to Saine’s arrest, a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun found in the Weld County Republican’s bag during a Transportation Security Administration screening had four rounds of ammunition in its magazine, but none in the chamber. She was arrested at 1:45 p.m. Tuesday on suspicion of introducing a firearm into a transportation facility, a felony.

Saine has been a defender of gun rights while at the Colorado Capitol, battling against a bill banning high-capacity ammunition magazines in 2013.

DIA is one of the nation’s top airports for gun seizures at TSA security checkpoints.

In the past 12 months, the Denver Police Department has responded to 106 reports of a firearm within a security checkpoint at the DIA, police records administrator Mary Dulacki said. Just one person other than Saine has been arrested and jailed for possession of a weapon within a security checkpoint during that time.

Last year agents seized more than 90 firearms at the airport and three people were charged for the offense, according to Ken Lane, a spokesman for the Denver District Attorney’s office. Three people were charged in 2015 and 2013, and four in 2014.

Passengers found with a gun can face large civil penalties, as well as local and state charges. Firearms can legally be transported on a plane in a locked case in checked baggage.
