No bias it that headline is there? Nope....none whatsoever.
He was just testing the MythBuster’s story...
H&K .40 — I assume a USP, which has a manual safety/decocker and a heavy first trigger pull in DA.
How the hell do you have an AD with that? I immediately thought Glock when I read the story....
I said I wanted BLACK coffee!!! BLAM!
lol
Another desperate attempt by Liberals in anticipation of the SCOTUS ruling that gun-bearing is a personal right.
I bet that was really noisy!
They were just board in the cockpit and wanted to have some fun. :-)
Seriously though this does reflect badly on all pilots with guns.
Just watch how this all comes out with calls to remove guns from the cockpits because pilots aren’t responsible enough to handle them.
But they are responsible enough to pilot the planes.
What an idiot.
Aside from why the heck was he playing with it but What did the bullet hit and why didn’t anyone on the plane hear it?
“As for the pilot’s future employment with US Airways, the spokesperson for the airline told ABCNEWS.com that it’s against company policy to divulge any information about the employee.”
Reminds me of the stories about US naval vessels running aground. You’re pretty much finished, if you’re the Admiral in charge.
This isn’t possible. We all know that when a gun is fired in an airplane, it will blow a hole that opens up and sucks everybody out.
The pilot is supposed to keep the gun in the holster at all times. Then, it won’t go BOOM.
Playing “show and tell” in the cockpit is dangerous.
Too bad we’ll never hear the “rest of the story”. I wonder if the co-pilot was in the cockpit at the time. And there are a number of critical things in the cockpit that might not withstand a direct hit. There’s redundancy all over the electronics of these planes, but what about things like the throttle?
Did you see this yet? I’m betting he was overcome by the urge to “show and tell”. :-) Even so, there’s NO EXCUSE for an AD...especially in a cockpit! Sheesh...I’ll bet that was loud!
Ya think?
It just amazes me that people accidentally discharge a firearm. Short of a mechanical malfunction of course.
Must have slept through the part where they said, "Don't play with your gun on the plane."
