Well, actually, the more immediate concerns are the likelyhood of a
pilot actually stopping a trained soldier with a gun.

Yea, I guess it seems different when you take the argument to the
ridicules extreme.


It isn't a ridiculous extreme. It's the likely scenario in the event of an
organised hijacking.


I guess a gun isn't useful unless it has a nuclear
warhead on it and can take out an entire battalion of soldiers. Its a
lot like saying anyone who picks up a pen better be ready to rewrite
the works of Shakespeare because anything less is not useful.


Nce try, but we who have been asked to carry the guns have looked into
this, ya know.

The one guy I know well who is carrying is primarily doing it because he's
hoping for the oportunity to shoot someone.

Nobody carries a gun on my flight deck.
