Seems pretty stupid. Keep them safe from what? This is Philadelphia, not Ukraine. Big obvious cameras work fine as deterrents.
Perhaps we lack context. Maybe there’s been a very bad crime problem in that area.
A guy with a rifle is not going to fix that. If anything, he’s going to get jumped and his rifle stolen.
The most famous victims of all, armed men in broad daylight with firearms.
They’re just taken out first, before the robbing starts.
