Not really. Their messaging is always to prioritise personal safety.

It’s great that old mate managed to get the gun and I salute him for his bravery but if that shooter had been a bit more aware or if he’d slipped or lost his grip then he may well have died of lead poisoning.

Vicpol or any organisation is never going to advocate for a member of the public to put themselves in danger. They won’t tell him off but they certainly won’t encourage it.
