Re: carry on a plane

[Paul Finkelman]

this statute appears to be from 2001; has there been no update?  I bet 
the screeners have the power to disarm you and so the only way to take a 
gun past the sceeners is to conceal it, thus violation the law.

Yes, there may be a nontrivial risk that the security screeners become 
critical of your conduct. Still, an interesting point of statute. I'd 
wager that there are some FAA regulations somewhere in the Code of 
Federal Regs that bar it, tho.

Reminds me of one Ariz. statute I found.

It defines explosives, with a proviso that the word does not apply to 
loaded ammunition or smokeless powder.

Then it defines firearm as a device which expels a projectile by means 
of an explosive.
