John,
Actually I was thinking ahead.... and was not advocating legislation. Thank you for the informative post from a different perspective. This list has been an unexpected opportunity to interact with, and ask questions from, people with very different perspectives. I know we'll never "just all get along", on the list and in real life, and I'm better aware and prepared for that than most would think. It's not a bad idea for anyone to stop and ask how they know that what they think is so, and you've provided some facts I didn't have. I'm no more or less moral than anybody, and I'm not the point. When people I come to respect feel passionately about something, even when they don't particularly care for me, I'm always interested to know why.
I wish I could get back to flying, as I've sat almost this entire season out behind my desk working on airport obstruction mapping projects watching our company's president launch instead. Responsibility sucks.

Steve;
There is a shooting school near Las Vegas, in California, (www.frontsight.com) that is one of the best in the business. The owner states that your first weapon of choice for self defense should be a rapid fire rifle or shotgun, a pistol due to its inaccuracy and lower firepower should only be considered for concealed carry purposes.
I live three blocks from a police station, it still takes them twenty minutes to arrive, just in time to make out a police report. I truly believe my first and main line of defense for myself and my family is me.
Would you all please stop saying we don't need a twin engine cabin class airplane, 'big brother' may be watching and reading this stuff and agree!

Steve, You are entitled to your opinion but it is my job to show you the light so you will change your opinion.
I know I could not find it but there is an email going around that has a dozen reasons in favor of the right to carry. The one that stands out the most to me is the one that says “ I don’t carry a gun to shoot someone, I carry to keep someone from shooting my granddaughter, daughter, friends or me. Go to Frontsight.com. They can explain it far better than I can.

I guarantee the liberal elitists, cap and trade thinking folks figure the average joe six pack (although he might be a heart surgeon like me) doesn't need a gas guzzling suburban, or twin commander! Only the chosen ones should be allowed to fly in fancy cabin class jets (usually at the tax payers expense - Pelosi?) so - enjoy as long as you/we can!
