I kind of agree with the Cam guy.
My policy for peace is to keep a gun and get the education on how to use it.
He just had problems with wording it I guess.
In reality what keeps you safe the most is body armour.
Every LEO killed in the line of duty has been armed. The gun meant nothing except for the opportunity to equalize force on force.
It's the body armour that saves yo' butt. Armed guy gets shot at, maybe killed, maybe wounded beyond ability to respond, maybe missed. May or may not be able to shoot back. Armed guy with body armour gets shot at. Even if hit higher probability of being able to return fire and meet force with force.
Nothing's 100% in life. Well, except maybe tax laws.

And yet, body armor with no gun means they shoot you again.
Right, but the body armour is probably equally important or more so than the gun. After all, crazy dude just starts shooting and yer first the gun don't mean much. The body armour buys you the time, hopefully, if shot to actually return fire.
The gun is critical, surviving to use it? I'd say just as much if not more so.
Of course, I don't have body armour so I'm hopeless... but I do think about it.
