IMHO the
only reason the
Capt would need a
firearm is to restore
order among us
SLFs after we'd knocked the
***** out of the hijackers.....
BTW...I'm not being brave, I just want to live.... 
Also, I think you'd have a problem convincing people that a firearm being discarged would
NOT lead to an explosive
decompression after 30 years of crappy action movies......
