A trained law enforcement officer with their firearm is nothing to be afraid of unless you're planning on attacking them or doing something else that would require them to fire it. In the Iraq war, our troops would always take their rifles with them everywhere, even if they were just stopping at a home/village to gather some information from seemingly harmless civilians and no one made a big deal out of that. People who get upset about officer taking their firearm out of its holster are the victims of fear-mongering. --- "If the day does not require an AK, it is good."
