Default Why GA is Dying

Very wrong, you just need to dress properly for CCW. The
are many fine handguns that can be effective for defense and
are small enough to carry hidden in any number of holsters,
bras, fanny-packs, purses, brief cases, garter belts, boots,
headset bags, computer cases, PDA cases. I agree about
people knowing who owns guns, since the American Revolution
started because the British decided to confiscate the arms
the colonists had in the keeping. That event was the spark
that started the war and resulted in the Second Amendment.

But if you go into any home in Texas, the odds are you'll
find a gun are better than 50-50. If you have a gun, keep
it close at hand, if you leave it home it can be stolen or
found by a child, carried securely on your person and it is
safe and so are you.

Ok, I wear/carry one of the above, and a gun would never fit in it! I
suppose an ankle holster would work. Of course, I work at an airport,
and no guns allowed, even in the car in the parking lot.

NOW you started it! Didn't anyone tell you it's politically incorrect
to talk about the Bill of Rights?

It's ok if you use the POL tag. We're far enough off topic.

Default Why GA is Dying

Parking lots are not sterile areas and guns are allowed,
even in the checked baggage on the airlines. I carried a
gun regularly in my flight bag on charter flights. Some of
my passengers did too, on part 91 flights. We also carried
hunters and target shooters on 135, and their unloaded guns
went in the airplane. If we had a nose baggage, they went
there, but in the King Air, it was all in the cabin.

Look for small 32 and 38 caliber revolvers and small auto
pistols, some are powerful enough and will fit in places you
would find handier than 40 miles away in a drawer.

You might look better in a pair of tight jeans and a man's
white shirt tied above the waist, but if the shirt is
bloused and tied below the waist and the jeans have a little
slack and you use a stiff belt, you can carry a small 45
automatic pistol just over the hip behind you and a spare
magazine on the other hip. Maybe you can't carry on the
airplane or into the workplace, but you can get a CCW in
Texas and carry to the pizza parlor or Circle K.

I dunno, we have the signs up in the parking lot and the building saying
cc is not permitted. Yeah, I can leave it unloaded, but what's the
point in that?

This is a large airport, btw, not a GA one. And a very large company.
They're kinda paranoid.

They probably offer a burial benefit.

If it's not a 30.06 sign, it's not legal... Regardless of that, the
2nd Amendment says, "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED", so **** 'em...

Back before Bush signed the CHL law, I carried a 12-gauge pistol grip
shotgun in my vehicle all the time... I also carried between my
vehicle and the apartment I was staying in while in Dallas... For some
reason, none of the gang banger punks wanted to bother me...
Intimidation through superior firepower, I guess...
