Plies is having a bad morning.

The rapper/social media comic was busted at Tampa International Airport for trying to bring a Glock 43 onto a Delta flight.

The 42-year old was stopped at the security gate by TSA agents, who also found a fully-loaded magazine in the same carry on bag as the gun. Plies has no permit for the gun. He was arrested for felony carrying a concealed weapon and will be transferred to Hillsborough County Jail this afternoon.

Plies's peeps tell TMZ he brought the gun to the airport by mistake.  Which is what they all say.

At least he didn't run, à la Juelz Santana, but that would have made for a funny Instagram video.
