Weapons are a strict no while travelling. It is usually a known thing to every passenger travelling via aircrafts. But in many cases, there are people who turn up with either small or middle sized yet suspicious weapons in the airport premises. So, it is better to understand as to when you can and when you cannot bring in the weapons and moreover, actually when you will be allowed to take one on board. This is so because there are many times and situations when the airport authorities allow people to take their respective weapons on board.
In the course of the jobs, some passengers are required to carry weapons, typically Federal Marshals on terrorist patrol, law enforcement officers travelling to pick up or deliver prisoners, and airline pilot with special clearance to carry a weapon. Police officers, military personnel, body guards, performing

All firearms must be packed in a checked bag, unloaded. Ammunition must be packed in the original container. You must tell the ticket counter agent that your bag contains a firearm, so check in at the assistance line instead of the kiosk. The agent will fill out a form that you must show to the TSA agent. The TSA agent may inspect the weapon.
Another cautionary note for hunters is powder residue on hunting gear. Hunters often travel in the coat they wear in the woods to save packing space. This trace of powder can be detected with TSA equipment designed to target concealed explosives. The instructor who told me this is an avid hunter himself who found out about powder residue the hard way.
The preceding information assumes your weapon is a gun of some type, but other weapons are transported as well. And seriously, Ninja warriors, you may know tricks to make yourself appear invisible, but metal detectors will spot your stars and nun chucks every
The success the TSA has had protecting our country has been notable. Between October 1 and October 30 2010, the TSA stopped 98 guns, 15 items, and 63 fake forms of identification. Disturbingly, the Agency has confiscated many guns, bags of drugs, and forms of fake identification. Sneaking a weapon through a checkpoint is a
As mentioned above, another reason the security in airports was so shoddy was that the x-ray machines and metal detectors that were being used were very out of date “the metal detectors were last replaced in 1995”(Hiltzik 1). These security tools were so outdated that some of them didn’t even register certain metals such as Aluminium and Titanium (Hiltzik 1). This means that someone could easily conceal a weapon in their pants or shoes if the weapon was made out any of these materials.
Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, body scans and security checkpoints have become the norm for airports throughout America. Airports tell you what you’re allowed to have and they restrict small things such as scissors, pocket knives, too much
Each state gets to determine if they will allow concealed weapons. If the state does permit concealed carry then people have to go through a long process before they can receive their concealed weapons permit. A person must first fill out the application, then "State police post the names to a private website for local law enforcement agencies to review and object to if police feel there
Possession of any firearm must express to the Government for the purpose of registration in the Register of Weapons. Possession or carrying of weapons prohibited by law or reserved for the exclusive use of police, navy and air force will not be allowed; except in cases of emergency.
To prevent this from happening, the weapon must be concealed. Moreover, carrying firearms can lead to unnecessary police calls, which could cause huge misunderstandings. To put it in a police officer’s point of view, there could be so much confusion when approaching somebody who has a weapon
Since I was a little girl, I remember hunting season; Dad and Katlyn, my sister, would come home to say they killed a deer. Even though I did not enjoy hunting, I still see how much they love to go; hunting great bonding time for them. My dad taught my sister and me how important gun safety is. He has shown us how to carry a gun properly, never to aim it at anyone, never put our finger on the trigger until ready to shoot, and always leave the safety button on until ready to shoot as well. In my house guns are always hidden or locked up in a safe, only Dad knows the combination, so no intruder can get to them. Guns are a very serious item. I was raised to understand guns are not something to joke around about; if they are in the hands
There is a small percentage of the population that has a concealed weapons permit. In that small percentage everyone is a law abiding citizen, except for a few here and there. They are a set of citizens hard to tell apart in a crowd because of their normality. This meaning that they do not plan on doing harm with their weapon. They respect the fact that having a concealed weapon is serious business. They are willing to go through the tests and classes that one must go through to obtain their permit. They know all the laws, which they must fallow, with that one could safely say that a concealed weapon would be handled safely by this set of people.
In the article Gun Control Laws, it states "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." (1). This may involve carrying a permit, or just simply registering the weapon.
The first basic rule is to never assume your gun is not loaded. No matter what, always check to make sure there is no ammunition in the gun. Another big rule is to remember that the safety (which is to prevent the gun from firing) of the gun is a mechanical device and can fail. Always point the gun in a safe direction (which is away from people, etc.). Horseplay should be avoided at all times when handling a gun. For storage, always make sure the gun is unloaded and locked in a location that is inaccessible to children.
Gun control is a very controversial issue among society at present. Many feel guns are the cause of a great amount of crime. This has been an especially popular topic recently in lieu of the shooting at Columbine and other high schools across the country. Are these crimes reason to take away our freedom to bear arms? I do not believe so. The average person uses guns mainly as a means of protection. If limitations are placed on guns, they will only stop the average American from obtaining a gun. The real criminals out there will still be able to obtain guns through the black market. Every American should have the right to protect them self.
We have all heard of all the tragedies throughout the country regarding guns. According to the President (2013) "We know that we cannot stop every act of violence with guns, but what if we tried to stop even one?" Weapon controls in the U.S. is structured at a state level and each state has their own restrictions on gun control. In different parts of the nation, there is significantly more resistant to firearm laws. For instance, in Texas, the gun law permits individuals to carry handguns on their side like in the cowboy era. In Kansas, firearm owner is not required to have a permit to concealed weapon. In Missouri there is not required that a gun salesman to have a background check or a waiting period. However, there is a requirement to take a gun class, once you pass the class a buyer can purchase a gun then register it with the sheriff department. In California a person can petition the court to remove a firearm from a family member capable of violence.
The right to bear arms is a wonderful thing. The law is great for multiple reasons and should not be taken away by Obama. Reason one for the right to bear arms is to be used as self defense in case of an attack by another person. Reason two for the right to bear arms helps citizens to save their own life and live a safe life. Reason three, in order to get a gun the person must go under a background check. Reason four, people are excluded if they have a criminal act against someone. Reason five, this law does not carelessly let a person own a firearm.
that are heavily concealed and not visible under a metal detector” (Auerbach). In order for the
Many people have gotten away with the crimes they have committed. These people have not been convicted for their actions, which means there will be no records and they will be given a weapons license if they desire to do so. That situation is exactly like those mental ill that has not been to a hospital for their condition. A mentally unstable person is aloud a weapon for their protection but in some way that statement contradicts itself because that person puts themselves and others in more danger in order to protect.
