If you are staying in the states, put an AR-7 survival rifle in the plane. Great rifle for survival kits. Rifles are not restricted in most cases, unlike pistols.

Special emphasis on rule #2. What we do, and what we say we do, frequently have a few differences between them. Discussing those differences on a public internet forum might not be the wisest course of action.

It's just a shame you guys don't live in a more enlightened State. Our deeply wise and scientifically literate legislature says I can carry most anything, anywhere, anyway I want. So I do.

Default Reciprocity matters.

I have a concealed carry permit for Georgia and 17 other States give reciprocity but not South Carolina, where we have a second home...so I have to be veeery careful when I fly there.

Best,

At risk of sounding a bit non-conformist, but I gotta ask...

Why are you guys so intent on carrying a firearm on board your aircraft?

If it's an off-airport landing scenario that drives the thought, I can think of a lot of survival gear that I'd rather have rather than a gun.

I can think of things I'd rather have than a radio and a cell phone, too... but I'll still have both. Like that fire extinguisher and ELT, you never plan to use it but it's awfully nice to know it's there if things go really, really badly.



(note: not that you'll find a gun in my plane, but I can certainly understand why someone would want one.)

Many of us are Second Amendment followers and like to exerciser that right. As a retired cop with 28 years on the job in a large border city of Detroit, don't expect the police to protect you from a robbery or assault. They will be there after the fact. Your first line of defense is you yourself. And concealed carry laws vary state to state. Most states will consider an airplane as a "motor vehicle". Research and be aware of the states conceal carry laws before you travel.

Absolutely. Also be aware that in some states, open carry doesn't require a permit of any kind and what constitutes "concealed carry" varies from state to state. For example, in some states, a loaded weapon in a glove box is not considered concealed carry, in others it is. Lastly, even if a state allows open carry, a municipality can have an open carry ban in affect.

Best advice -- know the law of the areas you are over-flying before you go.

Default What?

I don't own a gun, and now I'm wondering if it's safe for me to fly anymore.
