T.I. and Tiny are defending daughter Zonnique Pullins after her arrest last week for carrying a semi-automatic handgun through a TSA checkpoint.
Sources tell us Zonnique had been trying to catch a last-minute flight out of Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to see her boyfriend, and she grabbed the wrong purse ... not realizing the gun was inside.
We're told Tiny actually went with Zonnique to buy the .38 caliber pistol after the 20-year-old aspiring singer started getting threats on social media, and a fan grabbed her at a recent listening party.
