Hard to believe some people still don't get it.
"What if a hijacker held a knife to an F/A's throat?"
Too bad, maintain control of the aircraft.
"What if a pilot misses the hijacker and injures someone in the cabin?"
1) How can you miss someone standing in a doorway 3 feet behind you? (What kind of training do you need for that for God's sake?)
2) OK, let's sacrifice the entire a/c and 3,000 people on the ground because of the minor risk that someone in the cabin might take a stray bullet.
"Pilots should concentrate on flying the a/c"
It's hard to fly the a/c when your throat's been cut from behind. It's also hard to fly the a/c when someone is breaking through the cockpit door.
"What if the gun gets into the hijackers' hands?"
How?
Oh well, I guess its better to let the a/c be shot down by an F-16 than to allow pilots to be armed.
PS: I am a New England liberal and anti-gun in general.
