High danger? Any trained individual packing heat is likely "safer" than someone walking the street (or riding around) *without* a weapon.

If a cop is shot to death during a routine traffic stop it's not uncommon that his death was the result of not properly following precautionary procedures when approaching the vehicle.

First point-somewhat agree-only if you know how to properly use and employ that weapon-and many people who have guns do not know how to employ and use that weapon as an extension of themselves. They are more a danger to themselves and the public than any criminal.

Your second point backs my agrument that it is a high danger job-not the most dangerous Ill agree, hell it's safer for me to stay in the Army, still one of the safest professions around. Ponder it for a while.

I knew I'd get a ton of responses to this.
