How about extended to include flying commercial airlines in the CONUS?

Air marshals use subsonic rounds that in the average case shouldn't fully penetrate the fuselage of an airliner at 30K+ feet, which could cause sudden decompression and would likely kill several passengers in the process. Not sure I would really want to have to remember to reload before the flight with "airliner safe" rounds to avoid turning my 737 into a giant flute.

No, they don’t.

Until recently, they used .357 Sig, 125gr GDHP’s at around 1250fps; I’ve heard they since switched to the same loads a the FBI, the 9mm 135gr+P CDuty @1100fps…which is known for robust barrier penetration.

My point was, I'm not in favor of John Q. Citizen - any citizen - carrying a firearm on a plane I'm on. Too many things can go wrong.

Personally I am extremely not in favor of ever being on an airplane again period.


I know quite a few John Q Citizens I would feel better about being armed in my airplane than the average fed though. Not that I know all that many feds, but I know a few.

The *only* person I trust with a firearm is me.

I don’t have my pilots license but I do have to fly from time to time, so there’s that.
