What essentials do you always have on board?

I limit the legs to around five hours so that's never been a problem...and don't drink a lot of what ever before starting out. Which leads to serious dehydration and potential mental impairment. That was before heading out. "Sipping" on a soft drink or plain water while in the air works fine. Coffee and particularly tea are diauretics and tend to cause your system to *flush* out requiring a premature ..er... stop. OTOH anything with an artificial sweetner will probably have me stopping at the next closest ariport ..right after taking off and I'll probably be in there the rest of the day. That stuff works bettern' Epson salts. Just remember the "milk shake" in VanWilder! Don't cough or sneeze.

. .. The people of Florida would probably appreciate your travel there more frequently. I think they have a few more of the predatory class left. The nice thing about Florida is that they have plenty of gators for body disposal... http://grumman581.googlepages.com/gators-gotta-eat-too |

First thing I do after putting my luggage in my rental car is transfer my .45 from my luggage to my fanny pack or whatever concealed type holster I might be using... If it's convenient, I'll even do it at the airport before I get the rental car... ok, I know this is getting quite a bit OT, but I am curious: who issues carry permits (counties? states? I thought it was the county) and can you still carry when leaving this jurisdiction? They're nearly all governed by state law. Generally the permit is mandated and requirements set and forms standardized at the state level, and the actual approval process is at the local level (city or county). Generally, the permit is valid throughout the state it's for, although I think there are a couple of exceptions in a couple of states. (Um, there are often specific places which are all prohibited, like the secure zone at airports for example; by "throughout" I just mean that there aren't entire cities that are different -- usually.) And then most states have at least some kind of reciprocity with some other states. I've carried in KY and TN on my MN permit, entirely legally (I have to conform to the laws of the state I'm actually in, and it's my responsibility to find out what those are; in addition to research, I was with local permit-holders). Then there are out-of-state permits; if I traveled to Florida regularly I'd get a Florida permit, and as another poster recently mentioned, transfer my gun from my luggage to my holster when I got in the rental car, or even back in the airport terminal (generally a permit-holder is legal carrying in the *non-secure* portions of even major commercial airports). Florida also happens to be the most widely accepted permit; a Florida permit would let me carry in a bunch of states I can't carry in now; but I essentially never visit any of them. As you may have noticed, lots of this is a matter of state law. And ignorance is no excuse. And let us not forget Vermont and Alaska, which have no requirement for permits to carry. If you can legally own the gun, you can legally carry it. Seems like a civilized arrangement to me. |
