law enforcement cannot protect the witnesses. The county attorneys office cannot protect the witnesses. A gun in the witnesses hand just MIGHT afford them some protection if a thug enforcer decides to try to make good on the threat. If the witness feels he/she can defend themselves, you just might find witnesses who won't forget what they saw.
