Wait I know, let's put metal detectors at the airport door entrances, oh wait, that will cause a target at that spot. Ok, then lets make a checkpoint at the airport perimeter, hmm, still have a bunch of soft targets bunching up there. Ok, nobody ever go to the airport again, problem solved!

Don't quote me on this but I don't think they have jurisdiction there. It's state and local authorities who own the airport and its security.

LOL, I don't think the NRA supports airport carry freedom.... they are way too liberal for that.

Or maybe we should just turn the entire country into a police state! That way nothing bad will ever happen... just like in prison where the government has complete control. I mean nothing bad happens to prisoners, right?

I don't think anyone supports carrying inside the sterile area.

On vacation and my friends were getting felt up by TSA and they asked me to film them getting sexually assaulted (I had already cleared TSA without a groping).

So I pulled out my phone and started filming them. TSA told me to stop, I asked them if there was a law prohibiting photography, the dumbass TSA manager just called over the local Sheriff Deputy who was a raging a-hole and told me to stop, it was against the law (it wasn't), but that the law was "classified" and I wasn't allowed to see it... complete BS. 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.

Lots of people do. Why shouldn't one be able to carry in an airport?

That is the single most ridiculous thing said here in weeks. Advocating carrying in an airplane is the dumbest thing I've heard. Literally almost anyone can get a concealed carry.

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

I hold a carry permit in the state in which I reside and have for over ten years.

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.
