U.S. airline pilots who receive special training may carry guns in the cockpit but are not allowed to have them elsewhere in the plane or in airport terminals.
Time to bash the reporters. 1. if it was in his checked luggage it would be legal (except it being loaded) and 2. If they are not allowed to have them in the terminal how the hell do they get to their plane on the start of their shift or swapping planes or lunch breaks?
