I'd take it even if I only "carried" in the sense of stashing my gun in my carry-on baggage. I absolutely hate allowing strangers to handle my guns. I do not trust airline baggage handlers; I've had things stolen from checked luggage in the past and I do not put valuables in checked luggage unless there is no other option (guns and knives) and I must fly to my destination. If there were a way to legally bring my CCW into the cabin with me, I would definitely spring for it.
Hell, even if it were some manner of convoluted "check in with the air marshal before boarding" crap, I'd still do it. It'd be worth it to be able to maintain possession and control of my hardware through the entire trip instead of spending that whole time wondering if it will land at the same airport I do.
