You keep spouting the NRA line if it makes you feel better though. Hopefully, you're not imagining yourself as the "good guy with a gun".

So at that point asked if I was being detained and he said yes (again, illegal), and then went and got a rep of the airline I was on and had me tossed.
Anyway, I had a team of lawyers ready to file suit, we were going to make a big PR incident out of it, but the reality was that we determined it would jeopardize my family's non-rev privileges, so I didn't pursue it.

Why not allow grenades or hunting knives on an airplane. Nothing could go wrong there.

Be careful what you wish for. The average Joe with a carry permit has no where near the amount of training required to take out a perp in the FLL scenario. The odds that the permit holder himself would takeout other innocent people is high. It takes far more training and experience to discharge a weapon safely in a crowded area than the vast majority of permit holders possess.
