As a retired LEO, Citizens are facing more. Law Enforcement is a primarily reactionary force. Something happens to a citizen and LEO responds. If LEO is a reactionary, responding option, shouldn't the front line, the citizen, be more prepared?
Eh, bizarre argument... that’s like saying the common citizen should carry more anti-fire equipment than the fire department, or that the average citizen should carry a stretcher and defibrillator to work.
I am not arguing against the 2nd amendment rights, I just think your argument is hasty and sloppy. Need a bulletproof argument - and we have that. It’s our constitution.
Is there not health code requiring access to AED, how many smoke alarms you should have and access to all types of alarms. You can buy as many fire extinguishers as you feel you need and in what size you want. You can purchase all the equipment a fireman has most of the equipment your first responders have. I can't purchase the same equipment the military has. In some states, you can't even purchase what your local LEO has access to. It seems like a strong enough argument.
