re: Off Duty cops (NYPD) want to carry handguns into NFL stadiums

Are there brutal beatings happening at such a rate that an off-duty cop needs to be carrying

There is a lot of potential violence, the baseball game beating where the father died or had permanent severe brain damage comes to mind.

This idea just fits in along with my personal beliefs that we need more people who are aware of their surroundings and equipped with the knowledge to handle dangerous situations all over the place. I think that high ranking military and very high ranking law enforcement officials should be allowed to carry on planes.

America is an easy target because everyone feels so safe. I think all people need to be more aware of what is going on in this day and age, and the off duty military and police officials are sort of the first line of defense if you will.
