Most of the time it's not going to be some "hero" stopping a shooting in a theatre, but some dumb-ass shooting himself in the same.. |
You are automatically assuming that every peace officer will not be as competent as you , which is not true.
There are more than a few who shoot hand guns competitively.
I have no problem with anybody carrying a side arm as long as they are properly licensed and have been well instructed.
I have seen far too many people that are totally incompetent at our range that own hand guns, so just the person may be a peace officer does not mean that they will or will not be competent same as a civilian.
