I'm with Rick on this one. The pilots, navigators, etc. are all nowadays locked behind thick metal doors and they should not be opening said doors for any reason while in flight. Having a gun will prove useless to them as a result.

Also, I'm not so sure pilots are necessarily qualified or psychologically prepared for the stresses of gunfighting. Yeah, they deal (occasionally) with life-and-death stressors in their jobs, but those stressors are of a completely different type than facing down a terrorist with a gun/bomb/whatever.

If we want/need someone armed on the plane, then we should be hiring/training more Air Marshals, who would be in the passenger cabin along with all the sheeple and more able to engage in interdictive actions without endangering the ability of the plane to safely continue on to its intended destination.

The air marshal on my last flight was pretty easy to pick out...

Is that Sean Connery from the lost 007 movie named "Lead Flinger"? Talk about a "wardrobe malfunction".

nope the movie was Zardoz. i liked it.. but it sure wasn't for everyone.

**hunter63** · 09-03-2009, 10:52 AM

Is that Nagant 1895, 7.62 he's holding, funny pistol for a funny movie?

**glockcop** · 09-03-2009, 11:08 AM

Maybe a Webley. Hard to tell. My monitor does not have the best resolution, thank God.

Like Rick said earlier. You have to watch where fired rounds inside your home may wind up.

For HD and other personal protection, we have CCWs and:

His: 870 with 20" barrel and 8-round mag extension, kept by bedstead. Used to have empty chamber to allow racking noise; changed my mind, the bad guys don't need a warning. Also Colt Officers model in chest holster, 10/22 with 6X and two 50 round mags (Can't shoot my "real" rifles due to the shoulder surgeries), Ruger Single-Six, etc.

Hers: Mossberg 500 in .410 with 18.5 inch barrel. Colt Mustang (.380)

Practice on small range on property about every other weekend in most weather.

Real mixed feelings. Part of the original justification was "they have been in the military...". I don't know a single jet jockey that had real handgun trainig, I don't count a .38 shot every few years, if that. Also, the comment about keeping the flight deck locked is something I believe in; I have further said to make a separate entrance to the flight deck from outside, not inside. BUT, the comment that any CCW carrier should be able to have one is spot on. Has there been a skyjacking since 9/11? They know it won't just be a free ride to Cuba anymore.

**oldsoldier** · 09-23-2009, 06:36 PM

Mossberg SD loaded with 9 rounds of fletchette rounds.

We had a home invasion and burglary near here yesterday. Two men went into a home where a woman was six months pregnant. Fortunately, she wasn't hurt.

I also learned today that a guy I went to school with was killed in Venezuela earlier this year in a home invasion robbery gone bad. He wasn't a close friend, just someone I knew.

Keep those weapons close and loaded.
