In my perfect world as I check in at the airline counter the conversation should go something like this:

Have you packed your own bags: Yes
Are you carrying any firearms today: Yes
Please let me inspect your firearm to make sure it is empty: Ok
Here is your complimentary frangible ammunition, enough for one to two magazines: Thank you ... (loading magazines)
Are you willing to be called upon in the case of an emergency on the flight: Yes
Raise your right hand and swear to uphold the constitution and preserve the life of innocent persons: So help me God
Ok here is your boarding pass, and since you are a temporary air-deputy they will let you board first.
Thanks, ;-)

I would prefer to simply delete those codes altogether. There are already laws against "using" a firearm in a crime. We don't need to create any gun free zone (nor vague language to allow one imposed where it wasn't intended).

In my not so humble opinion there never should be any law that makes a crime of simply possession of a firearm or weapon. Criminal intent should be needed.
