Amen. Most of the officers on my department think I'm crazy to be out there in uniform unarmmed. And you are right, most citizens only see a uniform and a badge. It's kids the will mostly notice I don't carry. I've known some people for a long time that haven't noticed I didn't carry until I mentioned it for some reason. At least I'm lucky enough to drive an unmarked vehicle.
