    Impossible. LAX, like other airports, is a no gun zone.

      Fortunately he was subdued without the help of private citizens legally carrying weapons.

        Yes but if he thought that a large percentage of the folks in the terminal were armed, he would have had second thoughts about doing it in the first place!

          Can you imagine taking your family to an airport where you knew/thought a large percentage of the private citizens in the terminal were armed? Yikes.

                I do that every day when I take my family to about anywhere in Texas (notable exceptions are schools, churches, and airports). Where is it is scary is Utah and Arizona where folks carry guns without having to demonstrate they are proficient in shooting one. In fact, I don't believe you even need a CHL to carry a gun in Arizona.

                    You can't conceal carry a gun in Texas without license that requires demonstrating that you can shoot one. That is not the case in Utah. You can conceal carry a gun there without knowing how to shoot it. I feel sorry 4 Utahns.

                        The Legal Heat app says you can concealed carry into the airport, just not into the secure area.

                          So in your mind there is inherently something scarier about armed people at the airport than other public places?

                            And yet the gun crime rate in Texas is far higher than it is in Utah. Hmm...

                              Yes. I would include other similar places where there are lots of people in confined areas and limited exits. Sports stadiums, schools, court houses, etc.
