It does appear that patrol officers do keep submachine guns and semi-auto pistols in their vehicles. Not exactly unarmed, i'd say.
sam colt....mr smith,mr wesson....mr glock,mr browning....Question: Who or what is preventing the "Bad Guys" from taking your stuff, your cash, your wife, your daughters, even your life? I'd really like to hear from one person in particular here, represented by a red square.

But they don't. Clearly they're doing something right, or we're doing something wrong if every member of law enforcement carries a lethal weapon on their side.
I'm not ready to give up on the rest of you yet. If even the Norwegians can do it, so can we!

Sure. But the amount of hassle they have to go through to actually use them pretty much negates the whole thing.
There are many reasons why the UK doesn't have some of our issues, but we can't discuss politics here! You have views that are fairly opposite of mine, but I can agree that your idea of Utopia would be a great place to live.
Maybe I'll move to Norway!!
It does look like the majority of police on the street want to be armed at all times, but the Dept. heads are against it. Extra training is one reason they don't want to go that route. So it seems they're ok with police having only marginal training in use-of-force.

We have a thread for discussing why Canada is better than us. I can start a UK > USA too, if that helps.:|There are many reasons why the UK doesn't have some of our issues, but we can't discuss politics here!

That's tough, you'd probably need a currency that's worth a lot more than a US dollar is to pay for that.
Oh wait....
Current prices are showing £1.29/liter. £1.29=$2.17 currently. So, roughly 8.30 per gallon. Lets just move to Norway and abandon the arguing. I hear the blondes are hot
My dream job is on the writing staff for coming up with the stories for why the oil prices are going up. I think those spit-ballin' sessions would be a scream.
Well, our income is pretty high so I'm sure you wouldn't be stuck riding the bus. And then there are all the blondes who would happily make you feel better...
