It seems the Chief of Police of Washington, DC has shifted her position a bit.
According to WTOP, when interviewed for an upcoming segment of Sixty Minutes, Chief Cathy Lanier said, “If you’re in a position to try and take the gunman down, to take the gunman out, it’s the best option for saving lives before police can get there." (emphasis added by Citizen)

It necessarily follows that if the best option (her words) is to take the gunman out, then the best option is to be in the position to try and take the gunman down, to take the gunman out. Meaning, it necessarily follows that the "best option" is to be able to take down the gunman. Meaning, a defensive sidearm. In her own words, to save lives.
Did Chief Lanier accidentally acknowledge that Guns Save Lives?
