Hey Scotty:
I am a professional with a wide body strapped to my a$$ flying international, staying in different hotels in many different countries. Now tell me about foreign laws covering the carriage of concealed weapons; tell me where to check my loaded gun for safety at out stations? With the hotel Front Desk clerk? Or do I keep my gun when I go out to eat at a restaurant, drink at a pub in a foreign country? Just think about the logistics of gun safety, gun accountability 24 hours a day when I'm on trips, living out of my suitcase two or three weeks outside USA. Would people in Scottland mind having armed Bahamian, Canadian, Pakistani, Indian, Egyptian, Dutch, Nigerian, Russian, Sudanese, Brasilian, Indonesian airline pilots walking the streets of Glasgow...? Get a grip on reality.
