Absolutely agree, STOP STOP! A pilot should never leave the cockpit to shoot at a hijacker. However, this scenario is a smokescreen raised by the anti-gun faction. Truth is, a gun in the cockpit would be used only as a last-ditch effort to prevent hijackers from entering the cockpit. What are YOU going to do while the door is being kicked off it's hinges? If anyone has a workable idea other than arming the pilots, they're keeping it mighty quiet.
