And .. your point is?
It’s illegal to cross the border into this country without the proper documents too. But, no authority seems to take that too seriously.
I was raised with; am comfortable with firearms and had the ‘CC’ permit . . and was willing to live with the consequences of my actions of defending myself; my crew, my employer’s jet -and the customer’s boxes . . . And being a freighter pilot, I guess no one ever thought it necessary to give us no steenkin’ “talk”. Never heard of it.
The things that we had to worry about were fellow employees (they let anyone on the JS back then) and New Yawk (er Long Giland) scum bags who might break into your hotel room.
Ho hum . . I think the Statute of Limitations has expired.
