    I understand, but even then... Devise a program similar to CLEAR or whatever it's called. Pre-screen properly licensed people who can carry. They're not likely to freak out and start shooting up the plane any more than an armed pilot is. And if the pilot freaks out there's little you can do anyway.

    Personally, I'm not worried about guns on planes. Some of you guys make it sound like an otherwise rational, law-abiding person is gonna go apeshit and shoot the plane outta the sky just because he/she is allowed to carry on a plane.
    Um, planes back then were not pressurized and they rarely flew above levels that required oxygen until they were over their target area to try to get above the flak.

    True shooting a hole even in a pressurized plane is not going to cause catastrophic damage but it would definitely cause a lack of oxygen and the bullet could very well hit wires, hydraulics or spark an explosion in an empty fuel cell. Based on the regular reports of people freaking out on planes while in mid flight I will forego the right to carry a firearm on a plane at this time.

    You may choose to forego that right, however, there is a laundry list of special people who are allowed to carry on board. If it was really that dangerous, I would think that list would be either be much smaller or completely done away with altogether.

    Given the type of searches conducted on people going into lockup facilities, I am more confident that they are not armed then I am with the possibility that passengers on the airplane are not armed.

    I assume that most clinics and Dr's offices are private property and they would establish their own rules for what is and isn't allowed. I would imagine that people with copper or other metal allergies would probably need to live in a plastic bubble
    I posted this because our church has a sign with severe peanut allergy sign at a building, and one of the elder was eating peanut as a snack..... haha

    Not where is it illegal, but where should it be illegal.

    Besides, lots of people carry in both those states. Why should it be illegal for any law abiding citizen to carry there? If the police can justify the need to be armed, that same justification can be used to defend the rights of citizens to be armed.

    So far I'm still only willing to be disarmed in the place where the inmates get stripped searched. I will abide by the will of private property owners, and leave if they ask me to do so. I didn't mention public pools or outer space as both seem either obvious or unlikely. Clearly international travel adds another layer of complications, and is beyond the scope of my initial question. I'm not convinced on any of the other locations mentioned. If you have the clearance to be in a high security area, you should be trustworthy with a firearm. IMO, cell phones with cameras and USB drives cause more damage to national security than a few handguns.
