30. The cops were surprised just like the average gun nut would be when challenged

Ironic that packing guns don't seem to prevent cops from being shot at or banks from being robbed. Gun ownership is false security that more often ends up with loved ones or neighbors being killed not by "perps' but by "legal" gun owners. There are less than 200 justifiable homicides a year by private gun owners vs 3 times as many wife/girlfriend killings by private gun owners.
