I believe that an interstate flight is governed by Federal laws, so any law that allowed LEOs to carry in the 50 states is not applicable on an interstate flight.

What type of law do you think "governs" LEO's carrying in all 50 states? Federal.

Nope. Only ones I have ever seen were Federal agents (air marshalls, FBI, secret service, ICE, etc.)

Carrying a firearm on an airplane is a fast and efficient way to become an ex-LEO.

You meet the qualifications from TSA you can carry. See above link.

Let me know how it works out for you.

I know LEO's that have carried on commercial aircraft, and recently. Generally they have to be "on official duty", but they can and do carry.

Not if done within regs.

Allowed to board his flight, but lost his gun. Ouch.

But front page at Channel 2.

That happens so often the TSA sent a letter out to gun ranges last year asking them to give copiew of the letters to CHL students.

The guy in the article is lucky he didn't get arrestee.

It is easy to forget that your gun is in you bag. That is why we need to always double check as a matter of routine.
