1144358 2010-10-13 19:28:00 For example the that last police shooting in CHCH would not have been helped by weapons in the police cars boot. They either carry them 100% of the time or leave things as is.

What do they do next time they walk into a house and confronted with a surprise guy pointing a shot gun "owww please wait a minute sir, ill just go and grab my weapon".

This change is purely "to be seen to be doing something", but is near worthless.

1144360 2010-10-13 19:39:00 I agree that they need to carry them at all times, and be properly trained in their use. DeSade (984)
1144361 2010-10-13 19:41:00 If the police are armed, I guess the crooks are going to need to carry guns for their own protection.
Probaly more copz are going to get waxed than less.

Agreed. As with the new regs by the time they get to their cars , unlock the door, unlock the gun locker and get out the gun the crim will have carried out his deed and the cop or someone else could be dead.

Agree.
The removal of a few gun-toting druggies, added to the number of disqualified and stolen-car drivers already being removed from society will make the world a nicer place for our grandchildren.

People suggest that the new rules will cause the baddies to obtain guns. Have they not noticed that virtually every baddy taken in a drug bust in recent times has been reported as having a loaded firearm with his stash? This government move is just a step towards playing catch-up.
