I never said ANYTHING about whether cops should carry guns or not. You are either completely misreading my diary or intentionally setting up a strawman arguement.

We are talking about a play area in a bookstore on a regular afternoon. No emergency call was placed to the police. No maniac was anywhere nearby. It was a normal day in a quiet neighborhood. The presence of a gun where children play, run around, grab things, push, etc. seems a.) unreasonble b.) overkill given the situation. The store needs a basic security guard in the play area, not a gun carrying cop. Seems to me cops have better things to do and guns should not be in a play area.

Now chill out and stop arguing against things no one even said.
