Oh, and BTW, 850 million divided among 70,000 pilots is $12,150 per polit. That's some pretty serious heat!

And what's this $250 million/year? Those are some mighty-expensive bullets that won't (hopefully) be used.

I had just thought about $200 USD per person should do it when I read your post. In Texas you can get a concealed handgun training course for about $100 USD to teach you the law. You then need to pass a shooting test and given that the average distance from pilot to door is less than 10 feet you don't need to be real good!

Even if they buy every pilot a gun it still comes to about $700 USD per person TOTAL!
