Two interesting and even-handed articles.  And published in the Seattle Times, no less, in the city and county with one of the state's lowest percentage of CPL holders.

PS: as of 0645, almost all of the 48 comments so far are supportive.  Again surprising to me, and I will see if that holds.

Good article. Ordinary people, not armchair commandos in 5.11 gear or whatever is the current choice for real operators.
One of the commenters seems to be a special kind of stupid. If handguns don't protect you, why do police carry them?

Police have training that makes them professional enough.
