It depends who and where.
I have carried a gun for self defence whist on duty in the UK.
but not off duty.
I can see no reason for most civilians to ever carry a gun for self
defence and in the UK it is extremely rare. It is far more common that
they assign an armed detective to you if there is a threat.

Now that is worrying. What was the excuse the police gave? Not
Terrorism? It is far easier to use google maps or one of the others or
any of the many on-line images. For a real recce you use a mobile phone
camera and make like a tourist.

Either once or an SMG than a knife

Don't be such an idiot. Go to a casualty and look at the mess a knife
makes.

Because they are used to raise money not for safety whist the Police are
raising cash they are not stopping the crime that blights the community.

No there is no link.

There is absolutely no correlation between the two
