Officers carry handguns because they're main purpose is to direct, and not fight. Huh??? Officers carry handguns to defend themselves and because they are more portable and less intrusive than a rifle. But still to defend themselves. They may not be the primary front-line soldiers, but they can get into situations where they have to shoot. Did you think they carried them just for decoration? Are you saying that they carry them because they are more effective than rifles? Pardon me, but I said they are NOT more effective that rifles. They are neither as accurate more do they have the same penetrating power. They are easier to handle and more portable, though. I will repeat: the 2nd amendment is not a gun law. Uh..... I already said the 2nd amendment is not a gun law; it is a limitation on constitutional gun laws. Your interpretation is wrong. And BTW, there was a second meaning of "militia" current at the time that amendment was written. Basically, a states militia consisted of all its able-bodied male citizens. And that was what that amendment was referring to.
