Pilots are on top of airline food chain and believe me, we can handle guns and unlawful interference better than any police bouncer.
For the love of the FSM, please tell me you forgot /s.

And the captain is there to run the operation, not alienate the crew. 25+ years in aviation, most in the left seat. Rule number 1 for the captain: Just because you can say anything, doesn't mean you should.
