re: Massad Ayoob makes a case for carrying with safety...

Well, seasoned officers have street survival skilks. They know that a person new to carrying has a habit of routinely checking on the gun, patting the clothes to feel it. Good observation will catch that. And they know who is likely to be this person, by both profiling and geography.

Special military is all wrapped up in tactics , and is not in touch with policing.

Now, thats whats on that sandwich above.
