Colorado cop: "I just believe in armed citizens"

From the Rocky Mountain state:
A Kremmling police officer has started his own business teaching others how to defend themselves in a course on carrying a concealed weapon.

The firearms classes he offers are not through the Kremmling Police Department, but Bob Dillon’s experience as a police officer is beneficial to his students.

“I just believe in armed citizens,” he said. “I always have and always will.”

Article here. My personal observation is that, while many police chiefs (particularly those from big cities) oppose Second Amendment rights for ordinary citizens, a great many street cops support the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. Those officers and sheriff's deputies, particularly those in less urban areas, know that they likely won't be there in time to stop a violent criminal attack.
