Flying to Nevada from Illinois with a gun
menace:
I lived in chicago for a few years and most folks I worked with didn't have guns or feel the need for them--one guy collected hand guns (he had 2 small boys so it made me nervous) but he seemed ok with it. I personally don't think everyone should be allowed to carry a gun as it makes it way too easy to just shoot someone who's in your way as opposed to finding another option. But like you say they are way to prevalent to be banned outright as that would just be a waste of time. i personally agree with chris rock's outlook--give everyone a gun but charge $5000 per bullet, that way if you want someone dead, you really have to think about it cause that sh$t gets expensive after awhile...

Just a guess, since I haven't seen a reply from DD, but it sounds as if this were a vacation based around the use of the guns for recreation, or they were heading to a gun show out in Vegas.
Us funny 'mercans ;D
I've got you beat, DD. I went through Reagan International last year, and since the X-ray machine was down (and presently being worked on at that very moment) and the replacement for it was "not working too good neither, so he's gonna fix that one when he's done", we were asked to take our bags over to the table where we had to open them and they would be checked. A lift-up of two corners of stuff in our suitcase and short perusal of our carry-ons (none of those crack investigative measures would have unearthed a handgun if we were carrying one :o) and we were on our way.
I mean, Reagan International doesn't even have that many flights going through it! Shuffle a few more personnel on over, and they could have sped the process up to do a GOOD search!

The sales group of my company were real comedians. You know, they would start the practical joke war. Before 9/11, they made a cardboard cut-out of a handgun and wrapped it aluminum foil. They tucked into my friend

Everyone owned guns... not just 1 or 2, but several rifles (for hunting), hand guns were also popular. Also, no one locked their doors and crime was extremely low. We all knew how to use them and what they were for.
I carried a handgun with me all day today and I didn't shoot anyone :angel:

Yah, but you're a minister, so you only have to hit them with a little brimstone or browbeat them to death about religion ;), so I know you would only use your gun for sporting purposes.
Heck, I wouldn't even require you to license yours.....mebbe I'll become a minister mahsef!
