Give me a break. I wouldn't.

I fly a *lot.* Not 6 months goes by before I see two passengers yelling at each other or getting in some ridiculous tussle or near fight, because there are 300+ strangers cramped together in an aluminum tube. If guns were allowed on board they would be pulled out incessantly by self-righteous idiots. CCWs are easy to get and don't mean that the operator is in the least bit sane.
