I feel this is a very wise move and hopfully will deter any future would be hijackers. I feel if a person is responsible enough to fly a commercial airliner then why can't they have a gun in the cockpit to protect that airliner? I think that one need to look at the isrealies they have armed personal on every one of thair commercial flights and armed pilots as well,so when is the last time an isreali airliner was hijacked? See my point?

I was watching a report on abc world news tonight last night about this and the narrator asked "Would you feel safe flying with a gun in the cockpit?" my reply is yes ofcourse I'd feel safer if anything. Lets face it every time you get on plane your putting you life in the hands of those pilots they are capable responsible people or they woulden't have the job they do. I'am a realist guys I don't feel this is a bad move I feel its long overdue infact and the horrible cowerdly action of september 11th 2001 showed us this.

Consider this what if the pilots of those planes were armed the outcome might have been differant ofcourse we will never know now but we can prevent it from happening again by taking this new measure,thats the whole point isn't it? I mean I know about the air marshals and all But lord forbid they don't get the job done the idea of arming pilots is the last line of defense. I've heard people say on the news what if a stray bullet hits a passanger? That would be awful but the result is worse if god forbid a hijacker gets control of the plane.

I mean the media talks like theres a half dozen air marshals on every flight we can only wish that was the case. But even if there where its about a last line of defense and the pilots have that right like any other good citizen.
