Reminds me of an old 1970s or early 1980s TV cop show.
Robbers take hostages inside a bank, including a cop. Cop is disarmed by the robbers.
One citizen shows the cop he still has a handgun in an ankle holster. NOW GET THIS! Cop seizes the handgun, and throws it out through the window, leaving all unarmed.
At that moment I tried not to throw a shoe through the TV.
I never saw a “privately owned handgun” used for good in any TV shows in the 1970s or 1980s.
I remember those types of shows. “Your gun will only make the bad guy mad! Get rid of it!”
