How many of you have actually carried at the ATL airport?

I did. Never actually had to go inside since I just pulled up, jumped out and loaded the luggage, then jumped back in the truck and left. But I did all of this OC about 5 feet away from one of the police officers they have up there.
There are a couple Air Marshals that are ODT members, maybe one could shoot you a PM with the low down...
I may have to go in, but to my understanding you are perfectly able by law to go into an airport as long as you don't try to enter a TSA check-point. I would just really feel more comfortable to hear some proof of people doing it.
That would be awesome, would love to hear what they have to say. I'm not going till later this afternoon.
I'm most def going concealed, not risking wasting my time with airport police or having to pull an APD card.
I went down there to visit my buddy when he had a 7-hour layover on his way back to Afghanistan. Spent about 6 hours in and around the airport with a Glock 23 strapped to my hip. It's perfectly legal so long as you don't carry to a security checkpoint.
I have been just in side the door OC. I was there for about 20 minutes waiting to pick someone up and never had any problems. In hind sight I would CC next time.
I have CCed there twice. Spent over and hour in the airport both times(actually three, had a delay of 6 hours for one flight and left and came back). Sat and had lunch in the food area, walked my wife all the way to the first TSA check-in point and watched her go through from the viewing area. I CC everywhere I go so it's not like I waved it in front of security but I had zero problems. I gotta tell you it feels GREAT to FINALLY be armed in the airport. One of the places I think you need to be armed the most, you finally can.
