I for one do not want the Captain to have to leave the flight deck and fight a terrorist.
I want him healthy and fully capable of piloting the aircraft and fully confident that the passengers can take care of themselves.
For some reason, our government is more afraid of the idea of the good citizens of this country being armed than just about anything else. Allowing people to actually arm and protect themselves is even more unthinkable than the idea of Arab terrorists flying airliners into office buildings. I don't understand it. What do our masters in D.C. have planned for us that requires that we first be disarmed?
