History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes; lessons from 2004 re: the gun issue.

158. Umm, Florida *doesn't* allow carry in airport terminals, which is exactly the law you advocate.

This guy wasn't carrying concealed. He checked an unloaded low-capacity Walther PPS pistol and multiple 7- or 8-round magazines through on a flight from Alaska, then retrieved it from baggage claim, loaded it in a rest room, and went on a shooting spree in the no-CCW-zone of the airport. He shot and reloaded until he used up all the ammo and magazines he brought with him, then surrendered when people with guns finally showed up.

If you recall, I said this upthread:

you can already bring a gun up to the baggage check-in counter *without* a license (in a case) in order to fly with one, so allowing licensed carry when dropping off or picking up passengers doesn't really change the security situation in or around the airport.

That's *exactly* what this murderer did. No CCW here.
