Myself, I dont agree with letting civilian citizens to carry guns on the airlines but I do support the Idea of all police and military personel being authorized to do so when traveling.

What not Pilots? They are the last line of defense against a hijacking.

Your position is in direct contrast to your moniker. Restricting guns to police and military personnel amplifies the power of the state and keeps citizens at the mercy of the state.

I have a concealed carry license. I am trained and qualified, and I shoot regularly to maintain proficiency. I am not some trigger-happy lunatic. Why should I not be allowed to carry my gun on a plane? Is a police officer better qualified? My experience is that they are not. I shoot more often than most police officers. Am I less stable or reliable? I realize that you don't know me and can't answer these questions. They are meant to be rhetorical. But my position is that I should be able to carry wherever I go, as my right to self defense does not stop at the airport.

What makes the police and military so damn special?

I pay taxes, I'm a better shot, I carry better firearms, I know more about firearms, I'm smarter, probably been shot at more, etc.

Or are you really NOT an "Enemy of the State"?

And you are probably aware that those that have CCWs must have a cleaner background and have undergone a full FBI background check and police don't?

I feel safer knowing a cop can be an ex-felon and a citizen with a CCW can't have any felony arrests.

And a sky marshall with three days training and a federal pension is going to save us all.

Sometimes head in sand is best.
