People here say the shootings would increase if the police were armed, what do you think would happen if the public could carry guns. Homicides would increase because if someone got into a disagreement with someone bigger than them, then guns would be drawn and someone would be shot.
And then more people would be in jail for murder/manslaughter.

And how many people who would conceal carry guns would be killed by their own guns, or even lose them. Then the shitfight begins when the criminals get them.

Not to mention, gangs would definitely carry and to increase their stocks, they would target CC people.

If it's a safe place to live then front line police don't need to be armed...
