I also wonder why, it seems, that people from outside the U.S. being so comfortable with the police being armed to the teeth (terrorist protection - good point), but they are not comfortable with personal gun ownership (terrorist protection?).
i cant speak for others, but when police have weapons theyve had years of training in how to deal with them, what situations to use them under and will only use them after exhausting all other options, and even yourr average police officer doesnt carry a gun, only airport secuirty and specially trained units. at a guesstimate id say less than 5% of police officers can carry guns.
