Which Neighbors Have Concealed Weapons Permits? (Redwood City, Ca. publishes list)

[Starboard Tack]

253. Thank you for recognizing my total lack of aeronautical knowledge.

'Twas a poor analogy indeed, but I couldn't resist. The first time I flew was on a charter flight from Milan to London. The plane was a Caledonian Airways Bristol 175 Britannia 300. The plane arrived 12 hours late in Milan, the passengers getting off looked like they had been to hell and back. It was May and the worst storm to hit the south of England in decades. We boarded, with a certain trepidation and the stewardesses (flight attendants), who all wore kilts (very appealing) gave us the drill about life vests, beneath every seat, and emergency exits. I listened attentively and then enquired where I might find my parachute. The plane erupted in guffaws. I assume most had flown before. She responded that there were no parachutes. I thought "Hmm, how come? We have to fly over northern Italy, France and less than 20 miles of water. I can swim. I cannot fly, but they supplied me with a life vest. This is a prop plane with emergency exits. We're flying through one of the biggest storms ever. I'd rather have parachute."
Short story, they wouldn't let me off the plane. I didn't make a fuss and we made it. But I never understood the life vest thing.
Now, regarding the OP, no of course there is no public benefit in publishing the info of gun carriers. How about that? Just as there is no public benefit in them having the permits. Just that old Constitution slapping itself in the face. Gotta love it.
Such a young country still, so much to learn. No fucking parachutes? What's that all about?
