Not really, its a matter of the poor conditions these pilots have to endure as a result of the US Governmment requirements.

The pilots must manipulate the firearm to move it from a lockbox to their holster instead of just having them wear it in the holster the entire time.

This was caused more by ridiculous requirements than the pilot having an AD (accidental discharge).

I say BRAVO to the FFDO program finally getting up and running. Now they need to expand it and make the recertifications much easier.

They should also let any active or retired police officer who has taken the flying armed class onboard armed as well.
