I just don't agree with the idea of anybody who isn't responsible for "public safety" carrying a gun.

What part of "Right to keep and bear arms" don't you understand?

I mean, seriously people, do you carry a gun for FUN? Guns are used to blow body parts off of bodies.

We carry them to protect our lives and property, as well as the lives of others. Also because it is our Right to do so. There are millions of Americans who carry guns on a daily basis.

When would it be alright to use it? Sure, if a madman is threatening to hijack a plane, sure, but what if it was a false alarm? Shoot him anyway? Shoot the people with him/her for being there? Shoot the pilot for taking off in the first place?

Do you really think that decent Americans are "going to shoot the pilot"? Your contempt for your fellow citizens really shows.

Yeah, I do (have a problem with citizens carrying guns in a crowded restaurant or shopping mall)

Tough sh!t. Millions of Americans do so on a regular basis. You've probably passed many Americans carrying guns and didn't even realize it. The world didn't end.

Would you rather everyone walk around with a loaded .32 on their hip?

LOL! A .32 is a wimpy cartridge. I'd rather my fellow Americans walk around with a loaded .45 or .357. Even a 9mm would be better than nothing.

I don't have a problem with other Americans being armed. It is a Right which millions have shed blood for.

I DO have a problem with any government that attempts to gain a monopoly on the possession of weapons. History shows that genocide and slavery are the next steps.

Fellow citizens also shoot up subways, stores, crowded areas, etc. If you didn't catch it at first, the pilot remark wasn't serious.
