So, hypothetically, if I were witnessing this, and I emptied 2 clips from my 9mm into the plane, causing it to crash (killing the pilot) how long would I spend in jail?I'd say not long, since your 9mm would not likely have much effect; the pilot probably wouldn't even notice. On my boat, I carry a semi auto .30'06 and a 12 guage. Much more effective.
Ooh, does this story make my blood boil! My great-grandfather and his brothers operated the largest towboat line on the Upper Mississippi River in the late 19th Century. Grrrrr!
