They carry them on the streets of NYC and on public transportation in San Fran. In just about every publicized shooting where there are photos from the scene, there are LEOs with M16 variants. Not to mention the fact that if they didn't carry them, there would be no need to exempt them from bans.
And I also meant to add --a former military guy that teaches anti-terror training doesn't know the tactical axiom that a handgun is what you use to fight your way to a rifle or a shotgun? Or the old saw from the Texas Ranger that goes --if I was expecting trouble, I'd have brought a rifle." It's just not believable that he doesn't know any of this.
