No we haven't forgotten.

But, if it is stated that you will be arrested, regardless of what the law says, some may CHOOSE to not carry. Concealed is concealed, 99.9% of the time. But what about that gust of wind, or you bend over exposing your gun, or someone bumps into you or..... anything that would be OK in a zone where you know you won't be arrested.

It's risk vs reward, and we all have different thresholds. You appear to CHOOSE differently than me. That doesn't make me wrong (or you right). I do what's best for me and my family. I assume you do the same for you and yours.

I believe, that if it is true that they would arrest you at GBIA if detected with a concealed handgun, the risk of that happening is far greater than the risk of not having your gun if needed. That is what I would base my choice on as to whether to carry at that facility or not.
Your logic can be applied anywhere there is a perceived threat or rumor that you will be arrested for carrying legally. The same threat of arrest exists anywhere when unenforceable signs are posted. If I were to disarm everywhere a perceived "intent" exists I would seldom carry. The number of off limits places defined by the law where licensed individuals are exempt can be included in the "intent" column since many uneducated individuals assume that carry is forbidden. Proof of this is the consistent number of "I thought churches were off limits" posts on this forum.

I understand your stance, although I disagree that you are doing what is right for yourself and your family if you decide to disarm when there is a perception of intent.

Re: In many US airports, guns are OK outside security

There are no 30.06 at either airport from what I have seen. There are pseudo-gunbusters at GBIA. I have carried in the non-secure areas of both airports.

What is the big deal?

Once, at Hobby I dropped my mother off for a flight. The ticket counter supv told me I could escort Mom to the gate. I told her that I couldn't. She said yes, I can. I said No, I can't! She looked at me, grinned, and said "I understand".

I agree that if being armed was such a big deal then flying with firearms would be verbotten.

Concealed means concealed, or have we all forgotten?

This could be the next gun crisis.
