Wow! Can you teach our officers how to do that?
In all seriousness, though, this is one of the things that bothers me about these gun control conversations. I have a great deal of respect for the officers that I deal with, but I know good and well that it will take several minutes, at best, for them to get to the scene of a shooting. That's simple physics. If a police car leaves the station at 7:00 pm, traveling at 60 mph . . . I always want to ask gun control proponents, "Do you have any CLUE how much damage a determined shooter can do in the 6 minutes that it will take LE to respond?!?"
