But then, you ignored my comments about the increased danger of friendly fire incidents with more friendly fire in the air, too.

Don't want them, don't need them. All I have needed them for is to fill up my reports so I can claim insurance. Oh, yeah, that and try impress me with their power. Note, I don't mind you writing me a ticket. Write the ticket, ask me if I have any questions, STFU and go off. Don't try impress me on what you can do or harass me. Or is that too much to ask?
Well, if your goal is to make their life easy by being the sheep lead to the slaughter, go for it. I prefer to defend myself. Is your scenario going to make it more difficult for the cops? Probably so. Assuming it isn't over by the time they get there. However, since they will take several minutes at the very best, I'd rather have a fighting chance than just hoping and praying that none of those shots hit me.
Which place would you rather stand? Next to the perp or next to the few people with a gun trying to get the perp? Friendly fire and all? Somehow I think I am safer with the larger group. Again, I am not for shoving a gun into everyone's hand. You want to CCW? Sure. Get certified and trained. Oh, whats that? You are a felon? Sorry. Had a violent past? Nope. Don't want to go thru training and certification? Stand aside
