Should I trust the Airline with my gun.

I believe his post was sarcasm, at least that is the way I took it.

I agree but it was off topic sarcasm.

I don't recall anyone mentioning being stressed by just carrying. Unless I missed something, I think this thread had to do with the issues that could arise attempting to take a firearm on a plane.

Although it's always hard to discern tone in a post, I think what he meant was that your argument:

Unless you have a target on your back, are involved with the mob or drug cartel, or heading to a bad neighborhood in a crime ridden city, I think it would just be easier to leave it at home and not have it to worry about.

Is the same argument anti's use against carry of any sort. You could directly lift your argument and insert it into any concealed carry debate. Until scumbags pre-announce when they're going to strike, you really can't us that logic.

PLUS, lots of people hunt, compete (I shoot 3-gun), or travel with a gun for any number of reasons that have nothing to do with "having a target on their back or being involved with the mob or a drug cartel."

Not sure about things now, but when we lived in Fl we sometimes used the Miami airport. It was common back then for people to get robbed leaving the airport in a vehicle. The scum would bump the rear of the car leaving the airport, and then take all the valuables at gun, or knife point.

But I'm referring to the OP's post mentioning not being comfortable being unarmed for 2 weeks.
