The revelation came after a series of unfortunate events where a licensed firearm was discovered in his luggage during a routine security check. In an interview with ESPN, BoMac came clean about the incident, saying, “Man, I’m gonna be honest with you, I got caught with a firearm at the airport in my luggage going underneath.”
