(7,720 posts)If the beat cops are not armed then you are just handing over the streets to the hoodlums. If the bad guys know the cop does not have a gun, what do you think will happen? They'll laugh at the cop's orders to stand down.
While many squad cars still have shotguns in locked holders in the front seat area, many have switch over to tactical machine guns. Oh my, now what are you going to do?
I heard a story on the radio about a cop in Arizona who was in a restaurant. One of the other customers asked the manager if the cop would please remove his gun from his holster and put it in his car because it made her feel scared. OF course the cop could not comply, he would have broken all kinds of rules and regulations had he done so. Was that your wife?
