Good work on being statistically exceptional KC135.
And yes, a pilot getting caught bringing a gun through security is going to marginally take away from the respect given to all of us, not to mention contributing to the likelihood of all of us losing expedited security, which is the more irritating part to me. Especially when, unlike other mistakes, this is such an unforced error.

When the SKW brought a gun through, we all thought KCM would go away....
When the UAL pilot had ammo on him on going to Europe, we all thought KCM would go away.....
This doesn't bode well for KCM, but it probably won't be threatened any time soon.

And as usual, there's A LOT more to that specific event. Sure, the FFDO hater crowd LOVES to use that incident. But as mentioned, more to that than what's commonly discussed.

No straw man involved. Unless of course you're saying that a pilot getting caught with a gun at security is less serious than a member of the public.
