The Island is a safe place and the police don't have to carry guns all the time, but we must have an armed response capability.
Firearms Officer Stuart Barker (pictured) says the Isle of Man force currently has about 25 regular officers who're also trained to use guns and can be deployed when necessary.
But he says someone's ability with a firearm isn't the only quality they look for:
Drone pilots warned of exclusion zones during road racing
Restrictions also in force during Red Arrows
No self-driving car laws expected before 2027
Minister says currently 'no risk' of autonomous vehicles being brought to the Island
Cannan: 'Too early to reveal any re-election plans'
Chief minister won't be drawn on if he's standing in September
Techstars Startup event to take place in July
Over 50 professionals set to come to the Island
Tynwald petitioners advised to seek advice
