    Yeah great outcome aye. Just look at some of the comments in this thread. The public being armed would be a lot more worrying to me than the police.

    You wouldn't have to worry about me shooting you Gibo. If I held any firearm extended at close range, you would be below the impact zone.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    he couldn't reach you if you were on his shoulders. You'd be safe as long as you stayed up there.

    Right on Gibo! There is the distinction of HAVING the said firearm and having it ready when you NEED it. There is no point in having one at all if it isn't reachable - therefore the public would be better off not having the associated risks of storing them.

    My 2c. Cops having bushmasters in their cars is BS. All or nothing. Arm them, train them or don't do either. There will be consequences either way that we will just have to deal with. Somebody mentioned the killing of the courier, which I want to point out was caused by a highly trained individual and some extreme bad luck. Shit happens sadly
