Maybe making long gun open carry ...

... more common might not be a bad thing:

As Breitkopf walked toward the house in plain clothes with a rifle slung over his shoulder and his badge around his neck, an unidentified retired NYPD sergeant from the neighborhood -- milling around outside -- cried out, "Gun!" Carver said.

Yup, another officer shot and killed him.

Too bad more people don't walk around with their long guns on their shoulders ....
