You never chamber a round until you are ready to use the weapon.

How about keeping the bullet in your pocket? Barney Fife would be proud of you. I have never read anything so stupid in all my life.

Weapons on aircraft today are there to defend the flight deck. The time needed is seconds. Literally. "Ready to use" means "all the time" when defending aircraft. You have no idea what occurred.

You leave the gun in the holster with a round chambered and don’t fiddle around with it until its time to put the gun away at home or shoot a terrorist with it.

It’s a deadly weapon, it’s not a knick nack to show visitors to the cockpit.

LOL, Barney Fife, very quaint. I tell you what there sunshine pumper, I’ll put a 20+ year career in the Military and special ops up aganst your local yokel training and expertise any day of the week.

Your last comment about defending the flight deck is border line ludicrous. I know 100 guys that could ‘take’ the flight deck from most of these pilots (armed or not), without any ‘weapon’ at all. Their best defense is keeping the door locked.
