Fewer than half of pilots expected to carry guns

President Bush will sign legislation today that allows airline pilots to carry guns in cockpits, but it will be months before any take their weapons aboard.

And when they do, it's likely that fewer than half of the roughly 75,000 pilots will choose or qualify to take the controversial step of arming themselves.

Fewer than half is a hell of a lot better than none at all.
