If anything it will help. If a hoodrat walks up and sees a mother effer with a gun on his hip odds are he's gonna be like "oh shit. I'm out" and not commit the crime. Aren't people scared to do that kinda shit when a cop is around? Same shit different day. Only difference is a cop can arrest you, random person who is licensed to carry a gun can just shoot you. I'd personally rather take on a cop cuz a taser only hurts for a little bit but a bullet kills your ass.
