Roadtrip:
Are you a domestic only pilot? Because you haven't addressed the international logistics and legal implications of supposedly armed pilots who fly outside USA.
Exactly how is that supposed to work? I'm just curious because I'm international and I haven't flown domestic USA in 5 years. What would pilots do with their guns in foreign countries? Turn them over to the hotel desk clerk? Park them under the mattresses? Carry them around? Surrender them to foreign station agents at the airport? Surrender them to foreign airport police? Would armed pilots in foreign countries require multiple concealed weapon permits?
And what about bilateral agreements of armed foreign air carrier pilots on USA layovers? For example, would you mind having armed airline pilots from "Third World" countries, stroll about your neighborhood?
Not trying to be clever or funny, just thinking more globally....
