But they never miss my can of shaving cream or my deodorant over 3.5 ounces.

An el cheapo .22 revolver loaded with shot shells works as well, probably costs a great deal less, and has less recoil.

I would expect the Judge to kick like a mule (caveat...I have never handled/shot one).

Why were “TSA pistols” in luggages?

Perhaps “TSA: Pistols”
would have been better.

Strip the gun into two parts and mail it home in two separate packages. Once you break it down it is no longer a firearm, it’s parts and not illegal to mail in the regular postal service.

You only need a dealer if the gun is functional. A frame without a cylinder, or a receiver without a barrel is parts. A pistol without a magazine IS still a gun, it is just considered unloaded. You could place a single round in the chamber and fire it.

We were arguably safer in 1965 when anyone could carry a firearm on a plane.

Unfortunately, under American law, I believe you are incorrect. In federal law, the frame (receiver) the part with the serial number, *is* the firearm. Functionality is not required.

It would be an excellent reform in the law, if functionality was required. But I do not believe it is.

Everyone makes mistakes. No one is perfect. Some people think they are perfect, but it usually catches up with them over time.

I make mistakes all the time.

The only people who do not make mistakes are those that do nothing. That is the biggest mistake of all.
