Florida attorney Andrew Gerson arrested for bringing gun to Disneyworld's Magic Kingdom

A Florida attoey was booked for firearms charges after he tried to bring a loaded revolver into Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

A security guard saw Andrew Gerson, a 36-year-old a lawyer from Miami, acting suspicious as he walked past the theme park's security check with something in his pants.

When security confronted Gerson about the weapon, he joked and said that the bulge was part of his anatomy before walking away.

An Orange County officer later followed him, drew his weapon and ordered him to stop twice as the suspect ran after he realized he was being followed, according to the Orlando Sentinel. 

Gerson eventually dropped to knees, and later admitted that he was carrying the snub-nosed revolver with hollow point bullets during the incident earlier this month.

Disney World does not allow guns or any weapons to be carried into its parks or resorts, with the exception of those being carried by on-duty law enforcement officers.

Gerson has been told not to come back to Disney World.

His Florida concealed carry permit had also expired ten years ago, leading to charges of illegally carrying a concealed firearm.

Gerson was released Monday after posting $2,500 bond.

The lawyer's LinkedIn page lists him as a criminal and civil defense attoey.
