As per the statement of the Police Department of Charlotte-Macklenbury, Madison Cawthorn admitted that it was his gun and he cooperated with all the officials of CMPD very politely. A citation was issued against him for carrying a weapon of dangerous nature on the City Property as per an ordinance.

Moreover, if such a mistake is repeated again by the offender, he will be fined up to $13,000. Madison was caught twice over a span of one year for carrying the gun.
The weapon was safely kept by the officials of the airport and was returned to him after his flight was over. Earlier in 2021, he was found with the gun and the spokesperson of Madison Cawthorn stated that he bought it by mistake. He has a hearing in the next month on the charges of a misdemeanor for driving without a proper license.
As a lawmaker, he has mostly stayed in the news for his controversies which made people criticize both the parties i.e., the Republicans and the Democrats. A few days back he also experienced condemnation from his own party members for giving the name ‘thug’ to Zelensky, the President of Ukraine.
He was also criticized for his weird comments by the Republicans where he stated that some people of Washington invited Madison to use cocaine and do orgies with him.
