Some of these terrorists were everyday people. People who take your child's x-ray at the hospital, or work a set in with you on the Bench at the local Gym. I will say it again: If they could have earned CCW permits and carried them on the plane, they would have. Period. They would have passed our little background check and waiting period with no problem. Odds are they would go join the police force to get some experience with the weapon and crowd control. These people aren't stupid. What you are asking for is a passenger/terrorist shootout at 35,000 feet traveling 400+ miles per hour. If NO ONE is allowed to carry weapons on the plane, then there will be no shootout. If terrorists sneak weapons on the plane, then security at the airport has a problem. That is where guns should be stopped. Not in the damn air. I am not apposed to having pilots or law enforcement carrying guns on the plane. They would be trained to do so. Do I want everyone to have that right? Hell no. This isn't the old west and you aren't John Wayne, partner.
