Police aren't exactly citizens. They're police. 100% different. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 09:43 17
- because we know police are never involved in domestic violence or other incidents involving illegal use of their firearms. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 3, 09:44 16
  - I was in a place one time when the cops came in to do a shake down for protection money. I feel safer with "Average Joe" having the gun. -- nm - scorpion Mar 3, 09:46 8
    - Everyone should carry shotguns. That'll solve everything. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:50 7
      - Your equation of having a gun to there always being a crime going to take place is simply not true. - scorpion Mar 3, 09:53 4

        Exactly. When the zombie hordes arrive, if you don't have shotgun, you're f***ed. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:55
  - on duty in public? -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 3, 09:45 6
    - I thought the issue was carrying guns.....you know they carry them when off duty too, right? -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 3, 09:46 5
      - if they do i've never seen it -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 3, 09:47 4

        exactly. I'd rather *know* who has the gun in Starbucks, but I'm not really concerned with who has it. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 3, 09:50
        
        I know a few officers (and former officers) and the ones I know carry off duty. - loosilu Mar 3, 09:50
