allowing guns in cockpits

It really doesn't make much difference if the airlines they work
for don't allow guns in the cockpit.

On my airline the passengers are expected to provide their own gun
and bottle, because the pilot doesn't share...

Call me crazy but I'm still of the believe that if good, honest
citizens were allowed to carry guns criminals would not feel so
empowered to comment the types of weapons crimes we see today. When
a city passes a law that guarantees that good citizens will not
have guns the criminals get a free pass. I know some liberal who
has never touched a gun before will find this offensive but the
truth isn't always pretty.

Well, I've touched more than a few guns and still own one, but I
think you're wrong.I've also been in some parts of the world where
guns are more

commonplace ( well,. more visible) than in the US and they are very
very dangerous places indeed. They also have death penalty laws for
just about everything and all that appears to do is ensure that any
crime is a matter

of life or death for the perpetrator thus giving him nothing to lose
by kicking it up a notch. I'm no bleeding heart, BTW. I only want
what works.


I saw a saying the other day that went something like this "to say
that guns kill people is like saying pencils cause misspelling".

Well, it was more the laws I was addressing. The high availability of
guns was the problem there, but the ferociously high violent crime rate
( not as high as the US, but close) also involved machetes and knives.
The laws were so brutal that life became very cheap and it's only
getting worse.
