PRE-WRITTEN LETTERS TO SEND TO AIRLINES

ONE: ARM PILOTS OR I WILL NOT FLY
TWO: ARM PILOTS FOR SAFER SKIES
THREE: ARM PILOTS TO SAVE LIVES
FOUR: ARMING PILOTS IS SAFER THAN SKY MARSHALS
FIVE: AIRPLANE & GUNS: MYTHS

ONE: ARM PILOTS OR I WILL NOT FLY

Dear Airline,

I write to you today to inform you that if you do not arm pilots, I will not be flying with your airline ever again.

The justifications being talked about in the media for not arming pilots are bogus -- all of them, down to the very last one. 

https://www.KeepAndBearArms.com/AirMyths
https://www.KeepAndBearArms.com/AirRKBA

Do note on that second link that your pilots can be trained for FREE.

Sincerely,

 

TWO: ARM PILOTS FOR SAFER SKIES

Dear Airline,

I write to you today to urge you to arm your pilots -- especially if you want my business.

Arming pilots is the safest, sanest and most efficient way to deal with terrorists.

https://www.KeepAndBearArms.com/AirMyths
https://www.KeepAndBearArms.com/AirRKBA

Do note on that second link that your pilots can be trained for FREE.

Sincerely,

 

THREE: ARM PILOTS TO SAVE LIVES

Dear Airline,

I write to you today to inform you that I will not be flying again until I know my pilot is armed.

Why you would trust a pilot with a multi-million dollar aircraft with which he could kill thousands of people but not with a simple handgun is beyond me -- it makes no sense.  I have read all the reasons people are giving to prevent pilots from having guns, and none of them  -- NONE -- hold water.

Again, if you want my business, arm the pilots who fly for your airline. Otherwise, goodbye.

Do note on that second link that your pilots can be trained for FREE.

Sincerely,

 

FOUR: ARMING PILOTS IS SAFER THAN SKY MARSHALS

Dear Airline,

I write to you today to give you a choice: arm pilots, or our relationship is over.

The people who tell us that a pilot would have his gun taken by a terrorist but who expect us to think a Sky Marshal is a master of weapons retention are absurd. A pilot protecting his/her cockpit would find dispatching a terrorist like shooting fish in a barrel. The same airplane-safe ammunition Sky Marshals would be using can be given to pilots. A pilot who can handle a multi-million dollar airplane can handle a revolver just fine.

End the insanity by arming pilots, or say goodbye to any future business from me.

Do note on that second link that your pilots can be trained for FREE.

Sincerely,

 

FIVE: AIRPLANE & GUNS: MYTHS

Dear Airline,

I am tired of hearing the media's reports of the "Airplanes & Guns Myths" as if they are true. Enough nonsense already. Arm the pilots, or I don't fly with you ever again.

Following is a link to the major MYTHS people have been buying into.  I share them so you've got a clear understanding of what you've been catering to and why you're going to lose my business if you don't arm your pilots.

https://www.KeepAndBearArms.com/AirMyths

And here is more information on why it makes good sense to put a gun in each of your pilots' hands: https://www.KeepAndBearArms.com/AirRKBA.

Do note on that second link that your pilots can be trained for FREE.

Sincerely,
