Actually, living in Japan, in general cops do not carry guns and guess what, Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. So, there is no proof that it acts both as a deterrent and protection, conversely there's proof that it's unnecessary in the enforcement of law.
Your example is pretty poor, also, you do realize that Yzerman has only retired for about 6 years. Yzerman isn't THAT far removed from the situation.
