Where are the armed pilots?

Let's
say that somebody notices that I am armed and calls the cops. In fact,
let's HOPE that somebody notices that I'm armed and calls the cops. That's
certainly what I would do if I saw someone who was carrying a gun on the
flight line.

Why in the world would you call the cops?

Perhaps that has provided the hint that innocent people can be shot
dead while they walk down the street.

That's true. It's always been true.

Perhaps, then, it is too risky to walk down the street.

That's absurd. Only an idiot would draw (or suggest) that as a
logical conclusion.

Of course it's absurd. That's my point. It is no more or less absurd than
the OP who drew the conclusion that it is too risky to fly on an airplane
without an armed pilot, due to the hint that was provided on 9/11.

So, maybe it wasn't a terrorist, but it was some other flavor of
criminal. Who? Is this incident documented somewhere? I'd like to
read more about it.


Here's one. It's not the same story that I alluded to in my earlier post,
but the point is the same. The OP would probably draw the following
conclusion: It's not safe to eat in restaurants because you might be shot
by a mobster if you don't like the entertainment.

Go ahead and live your life in fear.

Uh, no, thanks, I'll just continue to be free and happy as I have
been.

I know of many people today who are living in fear because of the recent
incidents. They listen to these wonderful stories that the media tells, and
believe it's Armageddon and their life is in imminent danger. They run
around in a panic telling everyone to stay out of their local Town Hall
building because it could be a terrorist target. They think that the entire
world, terrorists, mobsters, and all, revolve around them.

They live in a delusional, self-serving, state of constant panic, fearing
the one and only thing in life that is guaranteed - Death.

I prefer freedom.

Based on this post, I have to wonder if you know what that means.


I believe you either read my post out of context, or you misread it
altogether. Perhaps this approach is more direct and will better clarify my
opinion.

Not that my opinion is so important in the overall scheme of things...

That compares apples and oranges. These analogies make no sense.

One interesting thing about this incident is that it took place in New
York City, where only the criminals are allowed to have guns.

I think I read it just fine, but you're offering badly twisted logic
as a basis for equating vigilance with paranoia or cowardice. In real
life, it doesn't work that way.

I'm glad that you're sharing it. :-)

Ron,

No I am not married, but you had better not enter my bedroom without
permission ;-) I have a 95+% kill rate at the range. I hit where I aim.

What a sad way to live - basing decisions on probabilities of things
happening....

That's how you make 99% of your decisions.

Does not matter. I will stay out of Canada just to be on the safe

They're hard to field dress when you shoot them with a camera. :~)

Tom,
No, It is usually for bears, Polar bears if necessary, elk, deer. If I
ever had to shoot a rabbit or squirrel I would have to aim and hit the
head. It would be for protection and I would hope not to be stuck out
long enough to have to shoot and eat an animal. I would rather shoot
them with my camera.

I only carry a firearm when required to do so. Then it will be my 7mm
Remington Magnum rifle. It makes a good survival weapon.

Hope you don't have to survive by shooting rabbits or squirrels. :~)

Damn near .50 cal, that's what. And with the 2X scope pretty heavy too.

They used them for hunting buffalo...up close.
