YES, bc squatters and other stuff for self-defense, AND PERSUASION NO, bc go check youtube about "police cams", you will see lot and lot of "0iq morons" or "crazies" (and well, asians/all-races also have fair share of that)
with them having guns, and its not pretty situations
Heck, even WITHOUT GUNS, you got drunks or "karens" that TRY to grab the GUN of police officer
or even "knife people" running to the gun policeman like a bull (and shot ofc)
