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



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


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


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.

I've flown it many times on MSFS and according to one poster on here that is
all the training one needs.

I think it's a more a question of attitude. Where I grew up, most of my
friends had firearms for hunting and target shooting. The ones that had
accidental discharges were the same ones that eventually ended up shooting
someone or something by accident.

Well, off ya go then! Some of them are hiring. Be sure to show then your
youtube video of your 777 landing in Hong Kong.

I've never had one. it's pretty simple, really. You just assume the
thing is always loaded. always. You open it up and lok inside the
chamber, and it's clear. and there is nothing in the magazine. You close
it up, and.it's loaded!

According to many women, men's guns frequently discharge prematurely.

Awfer... there went that experiment.
" CHARLOTTE, N.C.-- A gun carried by a US Airways pilot accidentally
discharged during a flight from Denver to Charlotte Saturday,
according to a statement released by the airline...."
Oh that's interesting. I have a friend who opted in to that program. Be
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?

The fundamental rules for safe gun handling a

1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that
the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not
cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the
muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common
sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different
circumstances.

2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the
side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch
the trigger.

3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety, and, if the
gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and looking
into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition. If you do not
know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun
alone and get help from someone who does.

Bottom line -- only point it at things you don't mind killing.

Exactly.

of course, you're determined to kill the whole planet anyway, so
presumably you're exempt form the above
