I know a fair few cops who have jumped to become Police in Australia and Canada and a couple of other places. In all cases they have managed to transfer from being unarmed to carrying a pistol without becoming trigger happy lunatics.

One in particular has used his taser at least three times but never had to even draw his glock. He's gone from being moderately anti-gun to thinking that going on patrol without it is unthinkable despite never having needed it.
