We just don't do guns mate, never have done really. Sure a few of us have them but for recreation and not protection. Needing a gun for protection is a bit too much "Call Of Duty" for us ;0)
Believe what you will. I am no thug. I'm a raver. Spent five years in running battle with the police. Night in, night out. A great many of us did in those days. The police either serve me or I hire someone who will. The latter usually. If they won't help then screw them. Respect is earnt. Putting a uniform on, who cares? Carrying a gun, who cares? We've all got guns too. They don't do the job the community pays them for so, balls to them. Jog on officer. And if I catch you in my community, you better behave yourself. I am watching you.
