Not to mention the recent negligent discharge of an authorised firearm by a US Air (?) pilot in Texas...where else!! Bullet passed through the fuselage fortunately. If it had gone the other way the F/O may not have lived to fly another day.
I notice PB said he packed heat at work, so it's not that unusual (some sort of "special high intensity training" required no doubt).
Can't say I see that being the answer myself. Much safer behind the locked door getting onto the ground asap, than doing the Dirty Harry business in the cabin.
It's definitely the commuter guys who are at biggest risk...I used to enjoy having passengers sitting up front in the old Chieftain days. Don't know if I'd be so keen now.
