I don't know whether this is ture or not Snugs, but someone on a radio program last week, mentioned that in the UK, crimes committed with handguns are increasing.

If that's so, would you expect the authorities to change their procedures about when their police officers would be permitted to carry weapons?

Gun crime is up.

Regarding police officers I think there would be much opposition to them all carrying weapons but certainly more guns are being used by the Police.
