Find it hard to believe that I am the first one to post this here. Excellent advice.

Makes perfect sense. Unfortunately it runs counter to the prevailing orthodoxies of the self-proclaimed elite -- the ones who, like Carl Rowan, Rosie O'Fat and DiFi, find it perfectly reasonable to prohibit gun ownership by the general population while arming themselves. Add since the press are sycophantic (that's the nice word for "suck-up") to these idiots, you won't see the treated with anything but derision in the media.

In a sane and logical world, this is how it would be. But we have too many liberals who would wet their pants over something like this.

Someone suggested eliminated the choice of seating option as a safety measure. Not sure if that would make a difference or not....

I watched Norm Mineta talking about increasing airport security and thought, what an idiot! If he wants to do something usefull, provide shooting ranges at airports for the passengers and crew to practice anti-terrorism skills.
Luke 22:36 (KJV) --Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Got sword? (M1 Garand ==>CMP)

Violence flows, like water, to low areas of vulnerability. This should have surprised nobody.
This article says just why that happens, and does so perfectly.
Let's pray for a return to sanity.

Years ago, airlines used to offer smoking and non-smoking flights. It would be interesting to see what would happen if airlines began offering armed and unarmed flights. Right there is the proof, refutation to objections, and what we ought to do...
Kopel is a thoughtful & interesting researcher and I highly recommend his site for facts, opinion, & research:

Backed-up, big time.
There was also a column in the NY Post on Tues advocating letting cops fly free, if they were armed. The idea was that it is a nice little perq, and no one in his right mind will try taking over a plane if there is an armed man on it.
Apparently the LIRR tried the same thing with its commuter rail. It worked.

I guess they could give regular people who carry a free _first class_ ride. The average person can outshoot the average cop, and shows better judgment and restraint in crisis situations.
To: TERMINATTOR
I guess they could give regular people who carry a free _first class_ ride. Wrong -- because now the bad guys know where all the guns are. First class is too small a group, and easily targeted in the initial assault.
If you allow CCW on flights, they have to be distributed throughout the plane.

I bow to your superior strategy. BUMP

Honored. Really.

People like you make me thank God that we have common sense laws.
