The previous full-year record of 5,972 was set last year, and the TSA says more than 80% of the guns found were loaded.
Officials with the Transportation Security Administration say if that pace continues, they will find more firearms this year than any other year.
According to the TSA, people can bring firearms in checked bags, but they must be in a locked, hard-sided case, unloaded and declared at the airline check-in counter.If a gun is discovered at a TSA checkpoint, it can result in a fine of up to $10,000.
