This is only the second tme in 8 years I have flown there.
Good to know about henderson. Passengers request for LAS, fortunately were going into the same FBO as were based at which helped in negotiating a fuel price.

Good to know, I will be flying there next week to one of the FBO's. I guess it's time to studie up on Nevada Laws.

In addition to srothstens comments, an airport that serves airlines might have different agency's interpretating the law differently, ie Local law enforcement ,TSA, Airport security.

What makes you say that? I thought screening was a requisite part of the definition of sterile area. It's been a few years, and rules may have changed under Obama, but I often used to fly (as PIC) with a handgun

It's a private ramp, not the Airline AOA secure area.

My company leases a hanger from Signature FBO at Hobby. I spoke HPD at Hobby and their take was it's a private business and treated as such. Airport ops and TSA might have a different view. I carry in our hangar all the time as well as out to our aircraft. All you Hobby guys Pm me and we will have lunch at Hobby and discuss airplanes and guns
