Why GA is Dying

They probably offer a burial benefit.

They do. But only if I die overseas.

Do they bury you over there too?

Hehehehe.

No, they pay to repatriate the remains.

Good policy, deny the means to possibly save your life, but
be generous with the benefits after you're dead.

I guess we should drop this thread for now, seems we have
gotten far off aviation.

Well, technically they only bury you if you die outside the US.

And I think the no gun thing has to do with the airport more than the
company. Or maybe not. They are a huge corporation and have huge
issues with liability. I honestly love my company, it's a great place
to work, and most people would back me up on that.

And since in my state, you can't have a gun where alcohol sales make up
a certain amount of revenue, it's a moot point.

Interesting fact... Between the 1930 and 1960s, airline
pilots were required to carry a gun to protect the mail.
The mailman carried a bag with a holster inside. Then LBJ's
postmaster took the guns away from the mailman and thus the
gun ceased to be required for the pilot. While pilots were
armed, several hijacking attempts were stopped. At the post
office, no worker "went postal" until after the policy
changed and the workers did not have weapons.

Gun free zones and workplaces equal unarmed victims, easy
targets.

It's 51%... Not a problem in most cases unless you are going to a
place that is primarily a bar... Just having a bar in a restaurant is
unlikely to exceed the 51% rule... Of primary importance here though
is that for a problem to occur, they will need to know that you have a
gun... If you keep it concealed like you are *supposed* to, they won't
ever know... If you do not have it concealed, it better be for a
situation in which your life is threatened, and if so, at that time,
do you really care what some liberal ass politician might have decided
should be the law?
