Discharging a firearm in an enclosed cavity flying 30,000 feet in the air has very very few positive outcomes. I really don't think the framers of the constitution imagined people having to fight an oppressive government while 30,000 feet above the ground.
maybe it's just me, but i really would not feel safer with johnQ public packing heat on an airplane with my butt in it..

So because a pilot has gone through the training to fly the airplane, he is magically more qualified than a person who has gone through the necessary training to carry a concealed gun? (which in my state includes a test to show that you can actually hit what your shooting at)
