Pilot’s Gun Goes Off on Plane

Mar 24th, 2008 | By Jared Blank

Not sure if you knew, but pilots are permitted to carry guns on their planes.  I only know this because a pilot’s gun discharged on a US Airways flight from Denver to Charlotte over the weekend.  The airline has not released further details on how the gun went off, but they have taken the plane out of service as a safety measure.
