Every day we look for ways to refine processes and procedures with the goal to improve safety and the overall travel experience,\u201d said the airline in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Thus far, only Delta has made an adjustment to their travel policy with respect to firearms. No other airlines have made changes.<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell whether this \u201cextra level of security\u201d is merely a PR move or an actual deterrent to bad guys with guns. One can argue that Santiago chose the airport terminal as a target because it was a soft target aka a gun-free zone.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, following the shooting, Florida state Sen. Greg Steube and state Rep. Jake Raburn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/florida-lawmakers-want-more-guns-at-airports-214517227.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"delta-rolls-new-policy-traveling-guns\" title=\"Delta Rolls Out New Policy for Traveling with Guns\">introduced legislation <\/a>to allow permitted concealed carriers to carry into airport terminals, schools, college campuses and other areas where guns are currently banned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose with mental illness and terrorists specifically target locations where they know law-abiding people like myself aren\u2019t carrying,\u201d said Sen. Steube in a Jan. interview with Yahoo. \u201cThey go to places they know where they can do as much damage and as much terror as possible until law enforcement arrives. I don\u2019t think that should be the law of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steube went on to argue that the status quo only prevents good guys from carrying firearms into gun-free zones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe law not permitting those from carrying at the airport sure as hell didn\u2019t stop the criminals and the terrorists from walking in and starting shooting people,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s only stopping law-abiding citizens\u2019 ability to defend themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear at this point whether Steube and Raburn&#8217;s proposed legislation is making any real headway in the Legislature. But if and when it does, we&#8217;ll be sure to update the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delta Airlines has quietly rolled out a new policy for travelers who want to check firearms in their bags, according to NBC 6 News.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":72212,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25,216],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-72211","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Delta Rolls Out New Policy for Traveling with Guns<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Delta Rolls Out New Policy for Traveling with Guns - Authors\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/delta-rolls-new-policy-traveling-guns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Delta Rolls Out New Policy for Traveling with Guns\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Delta Airlines has quietly rolled out a new policy for travelers who want to check firearms in their bags, according to NBC 6 News.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/delta-rolls-new-policy-traveling-guns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-04-04T05:09:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-20T20:43:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-03-at-4.19.31-PM.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"598\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"351\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
