I have a legal concealed carry permit in the state of California. So california is the least of my worries. California seems to be the strictest state pertaining to gun laws. As long as there are no faa or tsa laws restricting me then I know all of the laws pertaining to ground interstate travel.

Thanks!

Ya it can be tough to get. It was a little easier for me since I actually graduated a police academy and have a POST certificate.

Yeah that probably helps haha. Hoping the recent ruling by the 9th circuit holds up. But not to hijack this thread and turn it all political ;)
 
I only have experience with this topic in Virginia. In our fair Commonwealth, the Virginia Code covers what is and is not permitted in Section 18.2-308. Last I checked, no federal laws apply. Open-carry while you fly? Sure. CCW permit with your firearm in your flight bag? Sure. The challenge one could possibly encounter is the policy of the flight school from which the aircraft is rented. Renters may be asked to refrain from carrying while on the premises. Flying with an instructor? Secure your weapon in your vehicle. Renting without an instructor? Secure your weapon in your vehicle, conduct your business in the flight school, then retrieve your weapon and go fly. When I was instructing we had a customer who was interested in carrying during lessons. There was no policy in place at the time, so they owner did some research and created one. Customers were welcome to carry as long as the instructor was comfortable with it. Unfortunately, employees were not permitted to carry.

I wasn't. Went through the police academy at butte college near Chico California. Then decided not to pursue it as a career. It's still on the back of my mind if this whole flying thing doesn't start buying some bread soon.
 
Be careful about laws against concealed weapons, they can vary greatly from state to state. In Kentucky, you can carry in your glove box. In some states that is considered concealed.
