Now I am guessing almost every police officer in Europe (excluding Norway and the UK) Atleast carry a Handgun, here in America on their person Officers carry a Handgun and In their patrol car they carry either a Rifle or Shotgun and depending on the officer they are wearing a Light Vest that can protect from pistol rounds, is it the same in Europe? When I was in Paris I just saw officers on foot patrol carrying Rifles and had patrol vests on, but all I saw everywhere else was only a handgun and a small traffic vest.
