Pilots..lock and load

[njcapt]

This brings up another hotly debated point. How will pilots that are allowed to carry get the weapon safely to and from the airplane? There will likely be some sort of transportation to take them from the non-secure area straight to the aircraft. We can't risk having a bunch of pilots carrying guns inside the terminals where they could be overtaken and lose their guns. Any ideas?

The same way everybody else gets theirs to the plane. How do the airport police, national guardsmen, Federal Air Marshals, and every other Federal Friggin' law enforcement employee get their gun to the aircraft? They maintain control over it like they are trained. So will the trained pilots guard theirs any less forcefully?

I'm more worried about what I'll do with my piece at the hotel. If I go out for dinner will I be able to store my weapon in the hotel safe? Also, can I carry when I'm commuting? What's the difference that I'm carrying on some other airline as long as I have the federal authorization? These are the real questions.

I'd opt for the Sig-Sauer P-227 with the 3 1/2" barrel. Downside is that it has no safety, only a de-cocking lever.

I am definately a fan of the Sig 229 in 357 Sig. The best part about that gun is that you can change the barrel to shoot the 40 Smith and Wesson. I have both barrels and I love em both.

Maybe the Gov't will let us use the good old "Black Talon"
