“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

How To Travel With a Pistol and Not End Up Locked in a Room With a TSA Agent

Pull quote: Always remember to double-check the rules and regulations of the state you are flying out of and into. There’s nothing worse than discovering that you were completely legal in Florida and are now subject to felonious arrest in NYC upon landing.

With rules and regulations changing frequently regarding traveling with firearms, who better to talk to than a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent, the source of enforcement?

4WWL in New Orleans spoke with agents at Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans, Louisiana. Agents say that 15 people have had firearms taken from them this year alone. In most of these cases, confiscation could be avoided, as could the forced extra time with a TSA agent.

First off, guns need to be completely unloaded and stored in a locked, hard-sided case inside your checked luggage. These cases need to be declared when you check-in. The person responsible for the firearm should retain the key to the lock and not give it to anyone for any reason.
