    Yeah, in Italy there’s a lot of armed officials in public places and big stations (even train stations!). Usually they’re only there to look intimidating. The ones who will actually bother people (usually immigrants) are regular policemen, who, paradoxically, are less likely to carry firearms

      I like that idea. Armed cops who focus only on violent felonies, and are forbidden to involve themselves in lesser offenses.
