I'll let you in on a little secret. It's common practice for most police officers to carry more than one firearm. It's also common practice to carry other weapons, and that's just a "regular patrol" officer.


Here's a hypothetical for you. What if "serious crap" did start going down all of the sudden? Would you be glad that "homie" was armed and trained the way that he was, or would you rather have him being "Barney Fife"?[/quote?]


So there's no happy safe medium between Deputy Dufus and Colonial Marine?
