2b. Weapon is where pilots can reach it, in a standard holster
2c. Weapon is removed each crew change and checked for ammo. Flight deck is secured during weapon check.
2d. Weapon is kept without a round chambered.

During normal flight activities the weapon is not touched. Only time it's handled is while on the ground with the door locked. I don't think anyone could bust through the door and over power the crew before either pilot reacts, draws, and fires.

Tell my why this won't work.

Everything is reasonable except "2d" and you can't make regs about "when it is handled".
