A Lake Mary man was arrested Monday after screeners at Orlando International Airport found a handgun in his carry-on bag, a police report shows.

David Freeman, 51, told authorities he forgot the loaded .380-caliber Ruger, which was found during a hand search of his leather business travel bag, according to the report.

Freeman has a concealed-weapons permit and a state gun license, officials said.
