Interested in the legal guidance. Stories and opinions might be best in some other venue. Just want the actual facts about landing, using and taking off from public airports with a gun in the survival gear bag.
Then you really need to talk to a lawyer that practices this area of law. Asking on an INTERNET forum is a sure way of getting real bad information.Interested in the legal guidance. Stories and opinions might be best in some other venue.
Ha! Clearly, you've never given primary instruction. Those are the ones trying to kill you.Hmm. I was afraid that was to keep any itinerant CFIs in line...

Long guns need to be registered/documented/fee paid and transported under very strict rules.

"Can I Carry a Loaded Gun in my Plane?".......
That would seem like a very odd question anywhere but the US
G'day,
Rule 1. Know all the rules.
Rule 2. Don't get caught.

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.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.
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?

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

No worries. Ive trained all my guns that when they leave home on their own, to never point themselves at anyone and fire on their own.I don't own a gun, and now I'm wondering if it's safe for me to fly anymore.

Here is the thing I love about pro gun/anti gun people:
If you are pro gun you don't try to make the anti gun people own them.
If you are anti gun you try to prevent people from owning them.
One person respects the right of others to make the choice for themselves. The other wishes to push their beliefs onto other people.
I can't think of any reason why someone would need to carry a loaded firearm on a private aircraft.

Not sure if my post generated this response, but I"m not against guns. I'm just in favor of carrying them when the threat--or the general risk level--warrants.
FYI, I carry concealed when I'm at out on the town or at group settings such as theaters. I just haven't really come up with a realistic threat that would meet the criteria to carry or transport a weapon during my flights...
But then again maybe I'm not flying to the "right" airports!

Not to be impolite, but you don't need to, just the person that wants to!
