    the only thing i need my pilot to do is to fly the fucking plane, i don't need him with some gun trying to play hero, he will be a bigger hero if he land the pane safe, not jumping back in fourth from the cockpit to the cabin in some fucking shoot out.

  3. How many incidents have there been where a pilot has killed a passenger with the gun they were carrying?

  4. Nuke is next. Hopefully its DC instead of NYC. DC because it would be the only way to get rid of the Government.

    what will happen when a passenger decides to be rude and the pilot get trigger happy and takes him out, i will guess after the lawsuit the airlines will not allow there pilots to carry guns anymore.

  8. Another typical Obama policy. Long on left wing emotion,short on common sense.

    Pilots were required to carry weapons for much of aviation history,at least if they were carrying US mail. Bush and his idiotic administration made it difficult for pilots to carry guns, even though a majority were ex-military. Now Obama apparently thinks leaving them totally defenseless is a good idea.

    The fact is, we don't know what might happen during a flight. The cockpit door is not impenetrable. It's conceivable that having the ability to defend the cockpit could prevent another 9/11. The same people who seem to think pilots are some huge risk if armed don't seem to share the same fears about Sky Marshals. They are armed and sit among passengers where there is the potential for disputes to arise or for them to be targeted by terrorists who would seize their weapons. Anyone who flies regularly can pick them out easily.

  10. No IShopAtPublix is just head and shoulders above people like you intellectually. That is why everything he says seems alien to you. You are not at that level.
