Remember that pilot who's pistol discharged...

yup

1. Scrap the whole dang scheme as it is right now
2. Start a new scheme from the ground up (your call on an intended pun )
2a. All crew with flight deck access are to have compulsory weapons training. You don't fly as crew till you pass. You're paid to be trained.
2b. Weapon is where pilots can reach it, in a standard holster
2c. Weapon is removed each crew change and checked for ammo. Flight deck is secured during weapon check.
2d. Weapon is kept without a round chambered.

During normal flight activities the weapon is not touched. Only time it's handled is while on the ground with the door locked. I don't think anyone could bust through the door and over power the crew before either pilot reacts, draws, and fires.

Tell my why this won't work.
