“‘A gun is not a defensive weapon,’ insists Emeryville, California Police Chief Ken James, who claims that his mind, which most likely boggles easily, is ‘boggled’ by the idea that guns could serve a defensive purpose. ‘That is a myth. A gun is an offensive weapon used to intimidate and used to show power. Police officers do not carry a gun as a defensive weapon to defend themselves or their other [sic] officers. They carry a gun in order to do their job in a safe and effective manner, and face any oppositions [sic] that we may come upon.'”
