However, a debate that arises is how to balance the counterterrorism efforts and the liberties of the civilians. These countries have decided that with everything going on, they will put the citizen's protection ahead of their considerations for now. France is already being patrolled by heavily armed soldiers, and now police officers who are off duty will be allowed to carry firearms and use them. Personally, I think that is a good idea because the citizens need to be protected first. Countries of Europe need to be able to avoid another possible terrorist attack. If for that it takes troops to be everywhere, then that is okay.
