Do you think its wrong that airlines make passengers declare amd/or check their firearms?

Even peace officers surrender their weapons when visiting prisoners in jail.

Seems prudent to restrict firearms in some places. Any place that serves liquor comes to my mind. I've got no problem with school grounds being one of the "off-limits" places. If this girl had common sense she would have done the exchange at one of their homes, or some more appropriate place.

I would say she is not one of the sharper knives in the drawer. And her sense of good judgement is lacking. I hope her parents make her pay the fine and then take her rifle.

Yes. Believe it or not, there was a time when Americans could walk on a plane with a rifle, no questions asked. Of course, we're "freer" now.

So get 70% of the people to agree with you, and change the 2nd amendment to the Constitution. Until then, the "Right to keep and bear arms is still the law of the land".

So if I want to eat at a restaurant other McDonalds, I should leave my weapon at home and risk becoming a defenseless victim? Screw that.

I do. Teachers don't surrender their constitutional Rights, nor their Right to self-defense simply because of their vocational choice.

If this girl had common sense she would have done the exchange at one of their homes, or some more appropriate place.

Her only mistake was believing the propaganda about this being a "free country".
