Our creator. They are human, natural rights. Government can not grant us rights, only see that certain natural rights are not infringed.
Yes I carry in the plane, just as I do around town. As someone else said it is for protection before, and after you are flying. It is just an insurance policy. I do not expect to ever use it, but I will have it if necessary, just like my homeowners insurance.
I don't know. All I know is that as soon as we say that laws determine what our rights are, then there can be no such thing as an unjust law.
Good point.

I doubt most pilots who carry are carrying for issues in the air.
You gotta land sometime..
We could actually extend that question to include the condition and of "ever".

They make it much easier if you want to shoot something.

I carried for nearly 20 years even back when it was illegal everywhere, never once needed it.
I quit bothering a few years back, haven't had the opportunity to regret it yet.

Carrying is one of those things I don't do for the "need." I hope I never need a gun. But if I ever do, I'll be glad to have had it.

Carrying can actually be quite a hassle sometimes. I've never needed to fire one in anger at a person but I have used it on threatening snakes four or five times. As much as I fly over wilderness areas I want to have something along in case I run into such a thing again. I often carry a 22mag for that.

BINGO!
But the Wrights didn't fly until 03.
Didn't fly POWERED until 03. They were flying gliders for several year before that. Of course, Gustave Whitehead carried a Colt 1851 when he flew in 1898. It came in handy in fending off the Wright Brothers who were hiding in the bushes to get ideas.
