Well said GrandPrix!

The most emotional responses to gun issues on this board appear to overwhelmingly come from non flight deck personnel.

A gun in every flight deck makes about as much logistical and economic sense as hiring 90,000 air marshals.

A gun on some flight decks? Why not, there are some very qualified people in flight decks already that come from anti-terrorist and gun handling backgrounds. The idea is to add one more layer to a multi-layered security blanket.

Observed in a retail shop:
These premises protected by Smith & Wesson every third day; you guess which day is the third.
