This has always been the question when CCP walk around carrying their pistols or revolvers claiming that a good guy with a gun is the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun. How do the police know who the "good" guys are and who the "bad" guys are? If the police show up while you're playing action hero with the other person, what assurances do you have that they won't shoot you just for having your weapon out?
And yet, a vast majority of the "good guy with the gun" people still think they're going to get into an old school shoot out with a man dressed in black and labeled "bad guy" one day, saving everyone.
