Yes, that's what I mean.As in should they be allowed as carry on by anyone? No. Too many opportunities for bad things to happen.
That’s the problem. Not everyone practices enough to accurately shoot in a small contained area. There are so many people on a plane, hitting an innocent bystander is a high probability. Shooting on a plane would be an absolute last resort.There are obviously a couple of risks associated with discharging firearms in airliners flying at altitude. Put a round thru' the skin or a window and you're putting a lot of people at risk, aside from the more general mayhem that could occur from doing so.
Then there's hijacking, but let's face it, that could be achieved by holding any sharp object against flight crew's jugular vein.
I guess the slightly valid justification is that an armed perp has the ability to endanger hundreds of lives with a single violent act.
That would be a "NO."Should they be allowed as carry on or not?
What about on a bus?That’s the problem. Not everyone practices enough to accurately shoot in a small contained area. There are so many people on a plane, hitting an innocent bystander is a high probability. Shooting on a plane would be an absolute last resort.
