We have an armed offenders squad which is called out when someone goes nuts with a gun, which thankfully is not often.

Aww, It'd be cool.
Ever since the "Rider of Rohan" thing you talked about I'm sure you are a guy (not many female riders in LoTR or Herc and Xena for that matter). We could really party!
