I have no problem with open carry involving mundane purposes and suitable equipment.
It’s the ones deliberately being irritating/scary with non-sequitur gear that does our cause harm.
Drive what you like, and wear what you like, but driving a steamroller & wearing a bikini to the opera, well, don’t be surprised if people don’t act normal around you. Ditto for carrying a tricked out AR15 to the local burrito shop with the sole purpose of agitating the regulars.

So, you feel you have the right to open carry aboard a passenger airplane? An individual with a gun on a plane, openly carried is no problem, right?

No.
For me it is not.
For a long time in this country it was no big deal.
Then people lost their minds.

So, people should be allowed to open carry on an airplane?

I have a CCW and an FFL and support open carry, but this group is doing more to set back the movement than advance it. This is a dangerous world, and causing fear and anxiety in people is not going to win anybody over to the cause.

Does your copy of the 2nd amendment read "...the right of people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, unless on an airplane"?
I don't remember an amendment to change the 2nd amendment.

Not a problem in my opinion; as long as all other passengers have the same right.

Sure why not; a gun is a great defense against a box cutter, is it not?
Just think about it, armed citizens aboard those aircraft could have potentially saved thousands of lives.
Your government wants you to feel safe at all times, do you?

I ask you again; do you feel safe at all times?
A cop is just a phone call and 30 minutes away, my 45 is just a heartbeat away.

No, I don’t need a .45 to feel safe....am a plenty good enough shot with my 9 mm. I feel quite safe with it. :)
