Airport security is not endangered by permit pwners. It is endangered by criminals. Question for Mr. Helmke - would 9/11 have happened if permit owners were allowed to carry on the plane? I do not support concealed carry on planes, but the Brady respons e is ludicrous. Concealed permit owners are the most law abiding demographic in the US, but facts will never stop Brady and HCI.
