why would they have reacted differently to any other police which expects to meet loaded guns on a dawn raid and sends in a swot team? The police will always have more guns than the citizenry. They wouldn't be much cop (intentional pun) otherwise, and it's what we pay them for. -- Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
