terrible, but my experience with other armed Americans is as bad if not worse. Several of my folks have been shot, a few others are dead. Some were shot and killed by the police, but not the majority. Therefore at this point in my life, as begrudgingly as I don't want to admit this, I have to say I trust the police more by default, as they have killed and harmed less Americans through gun violence than Americans in general harm and kill each other
