FFDO firearms

[skychicken]

I just found out from H&K that they no longer offer a 121 pilot discount on their usp compac 40. Anyone know if a different company is now supplying firearms for FFDO's?

 

[OPECJet]

S&W offers a LEO discount on a few different models that extends to aircrew as well. Don't know what pistols offhand, but check their website.

 

[JustaNumber]

Ed's on the south side of ATL extends their LEO discount on all Glocks to 121 pilots as well. You might be able to have them ship.

Do you really think someone is going to hijack a RJ? Or are you just packin' for those BHM and MEM overnights?

Two pilot guys who have passed background checks, sitting together in a locked room. The 50 people sitting in the room next door all went through a metal detector or more likely an x-ray scan of their bodies/grope down physical search.

Those pilots seem like the least likely people in all of America to need a handgun during the course of their jobs. The FFDO program (as it is), like most other 9/11 reactions, is completely idiotic.

Great so you guys take a thread about a guy wanting to buy a PERSONAL HK USP Compact, and turn it into "why we dont need FFDO's." You guys are awesome.

What does the FFDO program has anything to do with this thread? He's asking if any company offer a discounts.

SPD, Smyrna Police Distributors off Windy Hill Rd offers discounts, Glocks for $399.

 

[Jeff Helgeson]

Oh, that hurts.....

lmao!

 

[SSDD]

lmao!

Don't laugh too loud. I remember a Horizon Metro being highjacked, and a PSA BAC146 with all souls lost.

because nothing like guns, knives or box cutters make it through TSA screening anymore....Not to mention CD's/DVD's, polymer knives, titanium bars or knives, blah, blah, blah.....you sir are a complete idiot.

probably not & maybe.

Kahr offers an airline pilot discount program.

I'd call them to make sure the prices are still accurate. Pretty good deals, nice discounts.

 

[Flyer1015]

Personally, I don't think you'll see a hijack like a 9/11 style because everyone now knows that they will use an airplane as a WMD. Anyone trying to fight their way to the cockpit, should, and will meet resistance by all able-body passengers (let alone flight attendants). So, I don't see that as much a threat. The real threat is in bombs. Whether smuggled onboard or in bags (esp cargo in belly), I think that is the highest threat we face. The underwear bomber type scenario, and the printer ink bomb scenario. Of course, even higher than those threats is the threat presented by technology and laptops: lithium batteries. I think that is most worrisome. UPS in PHL, and potentially UPS in Dubai.

Kahr is owned by The Moonies, and that took them off my list when I was gun shopping. I like that they're US-made, but I won't support that organization.

On Sept. 10, 2001 I didn't think it was going to happen on a 757 or 767 either. Were you ever a boyscout?...... it sounds like you're against "being prepared"

And as far as BHM and MEM overnights, I'd be willing to wager you are safer in many parts of Baghdad than you are in MEM after the sun sets.

FD has good discounts through ffdoa.

You're in a LOCKED ROOM and are prohibited from opening the door. An entire RJ full of bloodthirsty savages with razor blades and boxcutters isn't a threat to you.

 

[flyboyike]

Most of the FFDOs I know are the guys who already own arsenals at home (in one case including an operable Howitzer, no joke) and just needed an excuse to pick up another barrel. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

 

[ohplease!]

On that single point, you are correct. Sort of......there is no prohibition from opening that door for many reasons in flight and most of them are reasonable. However, there is one other person on my side of the locked door...... I'm just sain'

Who's the idiot?

Who's the idiot?

Clearly you.

 

[johnpeace]

Apparently since leaving this idiot circus my IQ has recovered to the point that I now SEEM stupid to the rest of you.

Have fun, dumbasses!

We are all going to miss you. Be sure to keep checking in from time to time to educate us.

This statement is completely idiotic! :beer:

You're missing out on some nice weapons, butthead... :uzi:

Has anyone (not a FFDO) bought a Glock recently with the discount? I've heard that Glock has done away with their First Responder program so the only way to get the LEO price now is to join GSSF and even with that you only get one discounted piece of tupperware.

 

[Salukipilot4590]

....wait.....

So some of you are somehow AGAINST reasons to buy NICE guns at a discount?

Jeebus...I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Oh, believe me, I know! The PM9 was absolutely perfect for what I wanted, but I just couldn't give money to those nutjobs. Maybe I'll pick one up second-hand one of these days. For now, chunky as it is, my little Glock 26 is working nicely for me.

I would've sold you my PM9 if I had known...
