All cops are armed and there are LOTS of them on the streets. Thankfully, most of the gun crime in every state is gangster vs. gangster and doesn't affect most of us. Citizens in every state can legally keep firearms in their homes so the biggest problem is the occasional carjacker or mugger, against which they have no effective method of defence.
