Love the 2nd ammendment but how long would it be before a gun-toting passenger got irritated at the yahoo that put his seat back to far spilling coke on the gun-packing passenger... think air rage, similar to road rage. The guns would inevitably get misused. The liberal media would have a field day upon the first instance.

Your argument is a red herring. Now that the majority of states are "Shall-Issue" for CCW permits, having issued millions of permits over past years to citizens who presumably also drive cars, I challenge you to find a case of a CCW holder unjustifiably using his or her weapon in a case of "road rage."

LEOs misuse their weapons more often than CCW holders.

A better question: how long before a testosterone-fueled "Air Marshal" misuses his weapon?

"An Armed Society is a Polite Society". Contrast N.Y.C. to Miami, FL. We all know how drivers act in N.Y. In Miami, folks are a bit calmer because most drivers are armed. Those of us that carry are not goofy gun slingers with derringers and .22 pocket pistols. The overwhelming majority of us own state of the art weapons and are trained to a much higher degree than law enforcement. In fact, I was speaking to a local cop and they were limited to 100 rounds per month for practice and the department was complaining about that. I order ammo in 1000 round cases every month or so. A fellow CCW friend and I were laughing at the Air Marshal qualification shooting test, pretty simple by our shooting standards. Furthermore, I've been through no less than 3 FBI background checks in maintaining my CCW permit, few airport employees have been through such screening. In addition, I, by birthright as an American, am deputized to defend my life & liberty and the only difference between me and a LEO, is that I am not paid so I do not have a DUTY to uphold the law.
