As far as the anti-gut agenda goes, I have been dieting and exercising.

Now, with the accidental discharge of weapons, I am guessing "it happens"...

Nobody is perfect.

When an event of one sort or another occurs, it is always going to be a media moment to push the personal agenda.

And thank goodness for that! All we need is one of our pilots causing injury. Thought it was supposed to be a "concealed" weapon.

Hey FE! What took you so long to write? :)


Sorry I have not seen the broadcast on this story, but I hope there's a good reason for the accident. A good friend is a pilot, and I sure hope the pilots don't lose the privilege to carry because of this.

And 62:

Sorry about that typo, it slipped right by.

In the "good old days", anchors reported the news, and we were left to draw our own conclusion, and form our own opinion. Today anchors insist on "interpreting" the facts, and inflicting their own opinion on us. And sadly, the sheep in this country, unable to think for themselves, believe all the crap the talking heads spout.
I'm sick of hearing anchors using their air time to promote their own beliefs and agendas. Especially for the purpose of infringing on my 2nd Amendment rights!
Shut up and read the facts!
I CAN THINK FOR MYSELF!
And as for the anchors constantly "what if'ing" every incident?
Like they say, "IF the Queen had balls, she'd be the King"!

I heard that the pilot was in the process of stowing the pistol when it went off. Not all semi-auto's have a true safety such has found on the Colts 1911's. My Ruger P-95 has a de-cocking lever which merely drops the hammer down but in the end the best safety to use when handling a handgun is to keep the finger off the trigger .

Yes and if someone was trying to hijack the airplane you were on you would sing a different tune.
You can always tell the anti-gun zealots, they make unwarranted remarks like "Playing Roy Rogers".
The man must be somewhat competent or he would not have been in the cockpit to start with.
People make mistakes, his was a stupid one, and nobody knows that more then he.
Don't be one of the media sheep and make more out of the situation than it deserves.
Recognize it for what it is, anti-gun propaganda!
Besides, I didn't hear all this protest and uproar when the Feds put the Marshals on planes. They have guns to, and they can do just as much damage!!

Assumptions can be made from now until the end of time. Until the pilot and the investigators release a collective account we will not have the full story.

But if I were to assume, I would say that the pilot had the firearm in a clip on holster. While attempting to place it in his bag, which is kept in a compartment on the left, it discharged.

You can not leave things lying around in the cockpit as this would be hazardous. Thermal up drafts and down drafts have been known to raise or lower an aircraft several hundred feet in just a few seconds. This causes loose items to become projectiles.

I have never seen a pilot walking through an airport or boarding an aircraft wearing a firearm. This would explain "stowing the firearm".

Spoken like a true fanatical nut job!!!

Fortunately there are redundant backup systems on commercial and military aircraft.

And true, the what ifs are endless. But luckily the airplanes skin was the only casualty.
