“Asst DA Jack Ryan is a worthless Nazi bastard. But what can we do about it?”

Lure him down to Georgia and arrest him on some menial charge that will cost him $15,000 plus a month in jail.

“It’s declared on check-in and I’ve never had a problem.”

Bet you didn’t do that in NYC!

Well actually I go through TSA security with my government issue Glock. I’m an FFDO. However when I land at LaGarbage and have to RON my gun is locked up in the main crew quarters.

If you have a gun in your possession in some places like NY and NJ and you don’t have a license for that state or a firearms owner ID card for that state, you are a criminal according to their laws. You’d also be in violation of the law for having a magazine that holds more than 7 rounds, even if it was empty and no gun to go with it. Insanity...

Had a similar incident at Heathrow Airport in London.....

The British “TSA” finally let me through after arguing....

Bullet cigar punches are sooooooo dangerous...

In DC that’s the same law; however that law is for the common folk. David Gregory held up a 30rd. magazine on his TV show that came out of DC. That magazine is illegal in the worst way there. He never got charged. One veteran was pulled over on a traffic stop there and a cop found a shotgun round rolling around in the trunk and he was arrested for having unregistered ammunition. The craziness of liberalism is maddening.

So long as I’m behind the TSA security point i.e. in the main concourse or out on the flight line/tarmac NYC can go pound sand.

The article is discussing the issue of having a gun BEFORE going through TSA check.

Hollow point bullets are practically illegal in NJ as well. I think you can have them in a self-defense gun inside your home but that’s about it.

I never heard of the FFDO thing before. That’s pretty cool.

I don’t carry a gun…

… to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don’t carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun
because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid. I carry a gun
because there are real threats in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil. I carry a gun
because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun
because I understand the limitations of government.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry. I carry a gun so that I don’t have to
spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to
die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy. I carry a gun
because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun
because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun
because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don’t carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun
because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

“Police Protection” is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves.

Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate
the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

Federal Flight Deck Officer:

The Federal Flight Deck Officer program is run by the Federal Air Marshal Service with the aim of allowing volunteer pilots of commercial airline flights to carry firearms for the purpose of defending the flight deck against criminal activity.

I know I know I know. I was told by a poster I shouldn’t go to NYC/NJ with a gun and since I’m an FFDO - okay, just forget it.
