I’m old enough to remember when a California assemblyWOMAN introduced a bill that would not allow off duty cops to pack heat while off duty.
So long as they are treated the same as civilians, I think that is just, if not constitutional, legislation.
They gonna issue targets to homeowners and house keys to intruders?
Cops without guns....
In England the Bobbies don’t carry guns.
Specifically:
“In England and Wales, only about 4% of police are armed, amounting to 6,473 officers as of 31 March 2024.”
Most rely on other tools to keep their city safe: canisters of mace, handcuffs, batons and occasionally stun-guns.(NBC)
The exceptions are the “specialist officers” and SWAT forces.
They claim police carrying guns “sends the wrong kind of message to people.”
Was it early Feinstein? I honestly don’t know but have been paying attention for a long time. What happens in Kalifornia, eventually comes to New Jersey.
