Interesting... Here, they've carried firearms since God knows when... I have never heard of Swedish officers accidentally shooting innocent civilians... However, I HAVE heard that arming the British patrol officers has been on debate recently...
Because our coppers are hard enough without guns :) Nah... generally our police officers must undergo special training to use handguns. Its supposed to reduce the chances of them accidentally shooting innocent people.
Because there isn't a need. There are a lot less people over here carrying guns than places like america and if there is a firearms incident, there are enough ARV's (Armed Response Vehicles) around which can respond.

Alright... Was just thinking about it. In Sweden, where I live, the cops always carry handguns on duty (SIG Sauer of various models)...
