60. Lets return to reality. Police officers carry off duty. They are subject
to the same laws as you and me. They are allowed to carry places us proles are not. With greater freedom to carry and act should come responsibility and accountability.

This persons behavior greatly increased their own risk of being shot by another police officer or by an armed citizen by escalating to deadly force when it was not warranted.

I would consider any further debate on firearm ownership on par with a debate on brown vs board or dred scot. Its settled law and moving in the correct direction.
