When we flew, we were armed and told to give the hijacker a warning shot to the back of the head.

What most people do not know is that during the rash of hijackings to Cuba in the sixties the pilots were then allowed to carry weapons. The hijackings stopped. If my pilot is competents to fly a 100 tons of metal, fuel and me at 600 knots he is damn well comeptent enough to carry a handgun.

45ACP = Big Fat Slow Bullet. Good slug for an Aircraft. Probably would not puncture the skin but if it did that is no big deal. It is deadly to the bad guy and will not go through him and hit an innocent.
