How many polic officers use weapons offensively. Wouldn't police only use a weapon if it was necessary for protection or defense?redneckdan said:If a person carries a handgun for personal protection, does that make them a police officer? The weapon would only be for defensive, not offensive.
I can see your point here, however most major news organizations do rely on the military or security forces for protection.Personally, I do not agree with depending on others to provide protection for me. "Tagging along" with soldiers puts both of you in danger. The soldier because he is distracted from his job and you because you are dependant on the soldier.
People who try to shoot their kidnappers aren't going to get kidnapped, they would probably get killed. Most journalists don't carry around guns, they carry around cameras. Journalist are often kidnapped. That's why often people who are kidnaped are unarmed.I beg to differ about being armed not contributing to ones safety. Have you read into the kidnappings at all? Every person who has been kidnapped was unarmed. Coincidence? I think not. Criminals prey on the weak. Companies with contractors encourage their employies to provide for their own defense. Don't beleive me? Talk to a raytheon recruiter.
Pistols don't protect you from land mines.redneckdan said:My advice...if you go over to the sand box, don't go unarmed. Get a firearm and learn how to use it.
