You must live in the comfortable confines of tranquil suburbia americana. Stay there. Don't wake up. Be happy. It's better for you that way. Have another latte.

Like the rest who must escape to reality on a daily basis, I rather have a) My gun with me, and b) A cop by my side.

Making unsupported assumptions about someone usually not only produces incorrect conclusions but is also a poor form of argument. I fail to see how anything you said is relevant to this discussion.

FWIW I live inside a very large US city, am familiar with firearms and have worked in law enforcement for many years.

And now for something supported by the numbers: have you considered the likelihood that the cop by your side shares his/her bed with someone else?

I agree with everything you said. But I'm not following your point of "have you considered the likelihood that the cop by your side shares his/her bed with someone else". What do you mean with that statement?

I read the statement as: If the dystopian future the gun wielding maniac above is waiting for comes then he must understand that said police officer could potentially have other priorities to protect.
