You need to have it on your person at all times so you can react immediately if need be. Better to have it and not need it than need and oh wait its in the vehicle hold on ill just go grab it!! Lets remember here it's about the officers right to defend themselves or take out the threat immediately.

I'd start by letting them biff a few snot bags in the ears than start with firearms. If someone hoiked in my face and I was armed, I'd shoot the barsted. Maybe I'm not a suitable person to be a policeman?
