Here is an article from the Washington Post, in a then timely discussion of training pilots in firearms so that they might arm themselves in the cockpit. While this issue may have disappeared from the media, Front Sight and Dr Ignatius Piazza feel this issue is still quite relevant to our security as a nation.

The London Times had an interesting article a while back on Dr Ignatius Piazza and Front Sight.

Since the writing of that article many more people have come to Front Sight, and more and more people are seeing the basic common sense inherent in our second amendment right to bear arms.

And if you don’t pay the fee, they just won’t come out any more.

Security providers are feeling the squeeze too, because many of them depend on police departments to provide the response to the calls. Without this reliable call-response system working, the whole machine gets mucked up.
