I have never travelled by plane in my adult life without accompanying firearms. The usual routine is to get to the counter and I say in monotone "I need to declare unloaded firearms". They pass over the little luggage tag and my guns, locked in their case, go in with the rest of the luggage.

One day the gal slid a form across the counter to me and I was surprised. A form? The form was for "police, bodyguards, federal agents" and a few other categories to allow carrying of firearms onto the plane in the passenger area. I do recall the distinct category of 'bodyguard'. Wonder how they qualify that one.

As for overpenetration, there are so many different types of pre-fragmented bullets on the market these days (Glaser Safety Slugs spring to mind) that its almost a non-issue.

I can almost here CLinton and Schumer saying "If it saves just one life..."
