seriously though, they shouldn't. accidents happen. you can't afford to shoot anything in the cockpit or possibly put one through the body itself. and guns are a bad thing in unexperienced hands. it would cost millions to train pilots to shoot properly and use them safely.

If they'd just stop putting ******* dead beats at the security checks... There would be no need for guns. But we know that'll never happen...

My uncle is a pilot. He is trained with a hand gun and owns a couple himself. Most pilots started off in the navy or airforce so I dont think training would be that big of an issue. However, my uncle is completly against it. He has had people start fights, get hostile and even die on his flight.(death was by a hearattack)
Guns wouldn't help their situation if someone else had one. Their cockpits are all bullet proof and their are other measures that have taken place to assure safety if a terrorist did try something.

i can picture it now:
copilot: "so your wife makes great breakfast in bed"
pilot: "WTF, I thought those were your boxers!"
copilot: "yea shes moving in next week"
pilot: "**********er, it's on now! *pulls gun, shoots CP then shoots self"
stewardess: "Ladies and gentleman our pilot has killed himself and the co-pilot, please fasten your safety belt and prepare to die **********ers! and thank you for flying jet blue
"
but anyway you can never make anything 100% safe and just giving some people guns isn't going to solve anything. People are so against guns and think they're dangerous but everyone's first solution is "hey give them a gun"... i hate ignorance.
Also in case anyone mentions anything I'm in the NRA, I own guns, I hunt, I feel bad for the idiots that give the NRA and guns a bad name.
