Are you saying the police carry Glock revolvers?

If an officer has an AR15 or a 12ga shotgun he is simply not "outgunned" by the bad guys. One is a semiautomatic rifle, the other is a shotgun. No different from anybody else. And of course, when a police officer calls for help, everybody shows up. He can even call for backup before almost any situation.

And 80% admit to toting in public when off duty. It's biased in many aspects. Hoyt Apr 2013 #13

Many depts require their officers to carry when off duty. NutmegYankee Apr 2013 #17

Where on earth do you live?!? Lizzie Poppet Apr 2013 #14

Well, it's kind of a mix. Local laws restrict the cops and the "villians" have whatever. rmax Apr 2013 #16
