the turkish airport cop shot 1 of 3 terrorists, in the hip (dropped AK went flying across floor), an interesting choice as it instantly disables and immobilizes, is easier than head/CNS shot...but then he failed to double tap skull, but ran away, allowing wounded terrorist to detonate vest. Could have cost lives [including his], maiming, casualties. If everyone armed, high probability only explosives (ie. the Belgium airport, still everyone unarmed but they still didn't chance it)....even pistol doubtful as would result in instant lethal response to terrorist (has happened often globally, they call in bomb squad to disable the vest), lower casualty rate of victims, than detonating into a crowd.

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
