We, the public should be doing more to support the Police. Bring a firearm out inappropriately, get dropped.
support them how?
can't do their job for them, they arrest you for that. especially if you use a firearm, thats double trouble. plus all legal firearm owners are considered crims by police anyway. so the last thing you ever want to do is help police out by dropping someone.
edit: i forgot, standard crim practice is to use that against people, ie shoot you because your carrying a firearm to your car to go hunting. also the standard practice of provoking someone to do something so you have an excuse to attack them.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you...
