On your way to the airport, it depends on where you are. In
California and most states, no. In a few, like MA, yes, unless you
and that firearm are licensed in that particular state.

The question is on the airport grounds themselves. Is it Federally
controlled, or under the state law? I *think* it's under the state
law, but I'm not sure. I know that if you take your (state) licensed
concealed pistol into a post office you're in a world of hurt, because
the federal law *does* apply there.

Now - after you take off, and you're flying over a state that requires
you and the gun to be licensed but you're no longer on airport
grounds, which law applies? I have no idea.

Just to get us back on topic - would a .22 kitgun with snakeshot be
effective in breaking a canopy? Or would it create a nice round hole
with no tendency to form a crack?
