Guns In The Cockpit

[CaptainSpaz]

Well, judged by 12 is in a courtroom ya know, a jury of yours peers.... carried by 6 as in like pallbearers, the dudes who carry ya out in a nice pine box an inna suit and stuff...

Let me rephrase my question, since Fred has helped me master the obvious:

1) When in particular is it better to be judged by your peers rather than dead?

2) How does this apply to the topic of this thread?

3) Who "always" told you this soarby007 and in what context did they use the phrase?

I think what he meant was that it is better to be arrested and charged with illegally carrying a gun, than getting a .45 cal lobotomy. Granted the odds are miniscule an event requiring one would transpire, but some guys feel it is their right to carry a gun per the 2nd ammendment, regardless of what an employer says.

The company where I tag along considered allowing firearms, but decided that my farts are noxious enough to disarm any wild-eyed looney with an agenda.

I always wondered why the PICs donned the O2 mask as part of the Final Items check before taking the runway. :nuts:

Aaah, I see. I hadn't read it that way, or ever heard that expression.

What about the part 121 carriers that fly the 1900. Is there a door in that plane or is it wide open? I would certainly want a firearm if I were in one of those things.
