re: #266 Obdicut

The link is about pilots getting rated for a gun in the cockpit. The standard calls for a skill level comparable to air marshals. A pretty high standard. And the training to get there? 6 days. Of course a pilot needs to learn a lot less than an air marshal.

But the skill should be comparable.

I understand anecdotal evidence is weak. But I’m no lay person. I really did the work myself, with others a long time. Ordinarily we put some trust in professionals doing a particular job. SWAT guys think in terms of taking to the bad guys in a crowd. That’s miles from CCW. Remember I have a liability as a trainer. No way could we get insured or stay in biz if our students were out there screwing up.
