This guns on Flight Decks issue really brings out the woolly headed thinkers. Wake up people! Get real and smell the air! Give me a gun and I can guarantee that no hijackers take me over and kill everybody on board and several thousand on the ground too. The hijacking game has changed! It's a lot more serious now, and if there is an attacker on the FD, then the danger of an accidental discharge of the weapon is neither here nor there! It's a 'last resort' defence. It's not going to be waved around on the FD like a toy, but anybody entering the FD with box cutters/Stanley knives should have several holes blown into them- it's the only way to save many many lives. I can't believe the naivety of some of the 'instant' experts who feel so much need to pass an out-of-date opinion in Pprune with no expert knowledge! Wake up! The world has changed.
