I think the others on here know who knows what's going on in this very unique situation and who hasn't a clue.

1) Why don't you enlighten us all on this crazy situation you keep writing about.
2) The gun isn't "special" at all. first because it has to be approved by the department of Homeland defense (that way in the event of a conflict/incident, other defense agents can pick it up and use it during contingent situations).
3) It's his gun. He picked the damned thing. If he didn't, he should have been carrying/using it in the first place. If he did, he has no excuses, it's his gun.
4) There are a WHOLE LOT of other pilots who've seemed to be able to negotiate this unfair system for a long time. What's their deal? Are they just smarter? More responsible?
I guess you'll say they're just lucky
It's attitudes like yours that give us dumb laws that punish all the people who are doing the right thing. If an idiot can't handle a firearm responsibly, he shouldn't handle it at all. No need to come up with MORE regulations and more stupid stuff. Locking mechanisms, and holsters, and loading and unloading and ammo....NONE of those things are valid excuses for unintentionally discharging your firearm.
5) Did he register any complaints about this unfair setup? I could even stomach your argument if he had complained that it was unsafe and he wasn't able to do it safely (still at which point it was his DUTY to either seek more training or not continue handling the gun)
