I only remember one pilot having a problem. The real cause was dealing with absolutely idiotic regulations that required way too much gun handling. A sensible procedure would have been to holster the gun before the flight and leave it holstered until the flight is over.<br /><br />This is an example of "accepting inconvenience" in the name of safety--the bureaucrats in charge of the armed pilot program did not like it, and made it as inconvenient as possible to minimize participation. Had the regulations been written by someone sensible, with advice from someone who knew about guns, more pilots would have participated, but with less chance of accident.Sevesteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439626386416115766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-61912754517580823142009-10-17T18:07:01.586+02:002009-10-17T18:07:01.586+02:00I carry a loaded gun on a train every day.
