Canyon County Commissioner David Ferdinand

BOISE -- The Canyon County commissioner who police say tried to bring a gun through the security line at the Boise Airport will stand trial today.

Security spotted a handgun in Dave Ferdinand’s carry-on luggage when it went through an x-ray machine last February.

Ferdinand said he had no knowledge of the gun, and didn't intend to do any harm.

He also paid a $1,500 fine to the TSA.

Today’s trial stems from charges filed by the city of Boise.
