:I've provided cites and the conditions under which the various forces go unarmed - generally, all uniformed Police on regular patrol duty are unarmed, but there are obviously special armed squads in each country. [[User:NormanTebbitt|NormanTebbitt]] 13:29, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

Police use of firearms varies immensly by country. I have read that most English Police go unarmed.
I dont thing that a gun is primarily a defensive weapon though. A PISTOL is primarily defensive, a RIFLE primarily offensive (even in hunting) GUN is a bit ambiguous, perhaps link to pistols and rifles after the broad definition ? [[User:Markr|Markr]]
