I should have been more elaborate with my post.
I was more directing it toward why is a cop presumed trustworthy with a gun at his side rather then the average Joe Blow. Living here in Vegas I occasionally see everyday folks carrying on their side, I’ve seen it cause a stir. Whereas an officer can walk in the same place with a weapon clearly visible and no one raises an eyebrow.
I wonder why sometimes.
Maybe because the cop is in uniform and a known public servant and the average Joe Blow carrying is an unknown.
