Actually, one needs to consider this carefully if one is on the cops' shitlist. (They had my photograph on a dart board at the Bloomington PD in the late '60s.) Under some circumstances possession of a gun can provide cover for whatever cops decide to do. And whether you possess a gun or not, you are still rather outgunned in comparison to even a rinky-dink police force.
