This is Joe Citizen with a CCW permit, not Joe Citizen without a CCW permit. What makes you thing that Joe CCW Permit Citizen would go about shooting willy-nilly when they don't do that already when they are on the ground? Are you saying that people in the air do strange things?
Now, I do see the airline's reservation about guns in planes, since technically, the inside of an airplane is private property. I agree that the airlines can limit what goes on and does not go inside their property, but I think that the private airlines should go ahead and say it, individually, and spelled out in the contract.
Seems to me that government telling what a private airline can and cannot have in its property goes against the company's property rights.
I bet some private airline would allow CCW permitees to carry. The CEO and shareholders of that enlightened private airline will be rewarded with my travel dollars.
