Agree 100%. I was responding the comment of Quilla's pilot friend who felt like he'd have a target on his back "Hello I'm a pilot, I'm carrying a gun." My point is that would only be the case if all pilots carried a gun. Since not all of them will be packing, then Quilla's friend's concern is not so much of an issue.
Besides, isn't a gun a good defense against someone coming at you in an airport for your gun? If he already has a gun, then what's the point in taking yours? If he doesn't, then that's quite an advantage...
