Guns on airplanes
... Lets take for instance if the scenario was true and pilots were allowed to carry guns onto their planes. ... Now, what I do think would be a better alternative is to allow crewmembers to have access to stun guns on flights. Stun guns would be a fairly safe way of subduing the would-be attacker for a short amount of time, while the other crewmembers restrain him and would allow the pilots to land the plane safely. Another advantage to using stun guns over firearms is the cost factor that is involved. Stun guns are substantially cheaper than the guns that are being proposed and are also less lethal in the event of improper use. ... But, I think it would be best to keep guns on the ground and rely on another form of security to protect us in the sky.
