I think it's kind of obvious that you shouldn't trust a person to wield a firearm just because they are a pilot, but I don't think anyone was saying that to begin with. In order to carry in the cockpit you have to go through a bit more than just signing up for it, I would imagine.
As a gun owner and a pilot I can say that the legal requirements to have a gun at home are about nil compared to those you need to meet to fly a commercial aircraft. Now as far as what training you need to carry in the cockpit I do not know.
