any "COPS" on this forum that own a 370Z?

Doesnt sound right, I agree. But I think it would cause a serious issue to allow anybody with a gun license to shoot at the villain in such cases. I am sure officers go through a good deal of training for different situations they may encounter (how good/extensive that training is I dont know). What I am saying is on average, a police officer will know how to handle the hostage situation in a better fashion than the average joe with a gun.

We'd have less BG's, is the bottom line.

If a BG knows his *** will get shot, not by the uniformed cop, but by potentially any Joe-Hero that sees what's going on...he'd think twice about doing something stupid.

Attach a LOUD high frequency buzzer to the trigger when it's lightly pressed...perp hears that buzzer, and thinks twice about continuing, meanwhile everyone else can GTFO of the way.

You change the attitude of BG's that the Poe-leese are the problem, to where the entire society is "the problem", and perhaps they should reconsider who the problem really is.... The result is they start comprehending that there is an overwhelming amount of force in the immediate vicinity that can stop them from doing something illegal.
