UPDATED: Pilot's Gun Goes Off In Cockpit

It has become known that the Captain of US Airways Flight 1536 from Denver to Charlotte is now on leave while the airline, TSA, and most likely the FBI and all the other one-hundred federal agencies investigate how/why his gun went off in the cockpit of an aircraft full of 124 passengers. What is even more interesting is that no one else on the aircraft, aside from the first officer, was aware that the gun went off. No news yet on whether the bullet breached the through the aircraft's hull. This pilot is not making things easier for his fellow gun carrying pilots.

T-minus 48 hours until one of the federal agencies involved overreacts, as usual, and bans all guns in cockpits until further notice.
