But thats because most traffic stops and arrests end peacefully or happen quickly in the city where they are close range and dont have time to reach for their AR anyway if something happened. What about that .0001%? What are the Police supposed to do then? Would that .0001% number rise if criminals knew cops couldn't or wouldn't carry rifles? Probably. Its really not that big of a deal, so what cops carry rifles more power to them.Hypothetical situation here. You become Governor and pass a law saying Police officers are only allowed to carry basic pistols and shotguns. Then you are taken hostage and driven to a big house in the country where the hostage takers say give me 1 million dollars and let my friend Billy Bob out of jail or I'm gonna kill a hostage every 30 minutes. You are the only hostage and your 3 captors are equipped with high power rifles and loaded down with extra mags. You know SWAT is at least 45 minutes out, how would you feel then?See I knew LEOs carrying rifles was nothing new.</blockquote>
