interesting to hear what he thinks about this!

Well he obviously had un-holstered it to point it at a terrorist who
was smashing his way into the cockpit! In this case it was obviously
in the pilot's mind and he needs a reality check. Why don't the
airlines consider disabling terrorists by depressurizing ? Knock
everone out, tie up the bad guys and repressurize?

I suppose switching cabin air to nitrous oxide is out of the question.

We're not allowed allowed to talk about tactics, but the guys carrying
guns get a pretty good course in hand to hand. The problem with this has
always been the 2%. The idiots that want to carry a gun for all the
wrong reasons or the just plain nuts. The training is desinged to weed
some of them out and to ensure that the guys who are carrying are
competent if it ever comes down to it. No point in carrying a gun if all
that happens is that it ends up stuffed up your own nose.
Still, if it can happen, it will..

Ahh but, the antigun fanatics will be foaming at the mouth...
Better a plane be hijacked daily than a single accidental discharge
happen...

They should hire me, I've never had an accidental discharge well,
there was that time at the drive in movie, but no one was injured

There are many many better reasons for not carrying on an airpalne,
which is why only a very very small percentage do.

You can fly a 777?

An accidental discharge is very, very much like a gear up landing. There
are those that have had them and those that will.

Several years ago when I was very active in shooting sports I read a
report that somewhere around 20% of all rounds fired by police officers
were ADs. This includes everything from ADs during cleaning the gun to
rounds fired in the general direction of suspects when the firing
officer didn't really mean to fire.

Good self control :-) I hope she didn't keep the dress...
