You actually used to be able to travel with firearms on planes (edit: as carry-on). And the above never occurred afaik.

You still can, in checked luggage.

So if it never occurred, then what was the point of carrying the guns?

Same reason as carrying your other personal possessions--to get them from point A to point B.

Except the OP posited we'd all be safer if everyone carried guns on a plane. If it was to merely transport them and they aren't used, I'm just unclear how it makes anyone more or less safer?
