Airplane carry

[jordanusmc]

I have a buddy at work that claims his dad can carry on a airplane concealed. He says that his father is in no way shape or form law enforcment. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of this before and if so what does it take to be able to carry on a plane.

Must not be a commercial airline. Otherwise, I have no idea unless he's just yanking your chain.

If it is a private plane, you can carry with the permission of the pilot or owner. You cannot carry on a commercial airline, and there is no way his Dad is getting through secutrity with a firearm on his person.

... unless he has a "Glock 7"

[LarryH]

or if he's the airline captain and authorized through the federal flight deck officer program

Or a terrorist . Whoops , I mean "enemy combatant"

I think commercial is still legal but not airlines (and not sterile areas) unless LEO or FSDO or some esoteric exceptions. I've carried on GA flights

Or there might be confusion between traveling w a firearm in your checked luggage vs carrying on your person in the passenger compartment.

Ok I didnt imagine that were was any legal way you could carry on a traditional commerical airlines thanks for the help.

I carry on private planes all the time but getting permission from the pilot in command is easy since that's me . Even with an airline employee ID card I can't carry on an airliner.

If it is a commercial plane he cannot. Just ask Berry Switzer Former Dallas head coach.

Same here. I just have to ask myself if I can carry on board. 'Course that's usually just toolin' around Texas in a six-seater. I couldn't tell you much about how things work on the airlines, because I haven't flown on a commercial airliner in 14+ years.

But, I am pretty certain that no one but a Federal Marshall and/or an authorized pilot can carry on board.

I fly commercial for free but normally fly the cherokee due to the convenience it provides and in the cherokee I carry on my hip just like I would in my truck but my rule for passengers is unless they are among a very select few highly trusted individuals I require the gun to be unloaded and in the back and I also require everybody to tell me if they have a gun before boarding but that is the result of a bad experience with a passenger who will never fly with me again.
