Sometimes sky pilots kill themselves. Although, is not having a gun really much of a deterrent to suicide aboard an airship? It's more likely if a Chum found themselves depressed or ashamed or broken-hearted, wouldn't going for a gun in the armory take quite a bit more time than simply strolling over the side of the deck?
"except possibly Pugnax"
What a weird moment to remind everybody about Pugnax! He was the least of my worries about causing harm with a gun and he's even less of a worry for committing suicide! Puppy power!
