I`m sorry misd-agin...you seem to have got it wrong. So let me put it a bit more clearly:
I AM NOT in favour of pilots firing
from within the flight deck...
I AM NOT in favour of pilots firing
outside the flight deck...
Actually I AM NOT in favour of pilots firing guns
anywhere on board an airliner AT ALL. And that`s because I AM NOT in favour of having armed pilots on board a commercial aircraft.
Come to it, I AM NOT in favour of having firearms on board a commercial aircraft except, perhaps, in very specific high-threat situations. And even then, always in the hands of rigourously selected and specifically trained personnel. No rent-a-cops, no walk-the-beat plod, not even SWAT trained
officers...
And YES, I do have firearms training...
And YES, I do carry a firearm on every working day...
And YES, my nick will give you a good clue why...
Cheers!
