A question to discuss.
As most of you are aware the British Police service is not armed.
In most confrontations this means hand to hand techniques or the use of pepper/CS spary has to be used. Even if knifes or other weapons are used it still means getting physical rather than using a firearm
( By the time you call a firearms officer in my force it takes about 30 mins and then you spend hours trying to get authority to arm, the situation either has passed or the person has been detained)
Do you think its time for us to be armed or do you think this will mean more and more guns on our streets.
Any thoughts
