How many pilots are/will be truely prepared for the consequences of shooting someone in order to conduct their flight safely? For if you are carrying a gun, ready to shoot you had better be thinking about it every minute of everyday, on and off work. Not just on the dreaded day you have to use it. I imagine we are going to end up with a new breed of pilot. I certainly do not take this issue lightly. If I am to be prepared to shoot for mine and others protection at work then maybe I should consider where else I am prepared to pull and use a gun for my and those in my cares' protection.
