I think the number one rule for any firearm owner is 'know where your weapon is at all times'. That rule is doubly important for an FAM operating in the close confines of an aircraft. If someone else does get hold of the FAM's firearm, it's not like the pax can run for cover.

I can't think of a single more important rule for a FAM to follow than securing his/her firearm at all times. Failure to do so indicates someone who has lost (or never had) the necessary focus for the job.
