If the pilot UNLOADED the firearm before stowing it, then he wouldn't have had this problem.

I think that the termination probably has as much to do with it happening on final approach as it does on the fact that it happened. He should not have been handling the gun until he was shut down at the gate! The passengers deserve both pilots full attention on the aircraft during the most dangeroud part of flying.
