planeflyer21 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 That police semi-automatic rifle looks suspiciously like a Cali-banned assault weapon.Why the change in verbage? ::)http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Semiautomatic-rifle-stolen-from-SF-police-4326325.phpJon
DNP Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 Oops. Damn thieves. Even the cops aren't safe. It's ok though, he doesn't need that rifle anyways. He can use his shotgun. It's only a crazy assault weapon if its owned by a civilian. You know that.
unforgiven Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 L.E.O. out here goes to the bathroom leaves his pistol in stall.Goes back and it's gone.No kidding ::)
98Z5V Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 The high-powered rifle is similar to a military M-16 and is issued to specially trained officers, Andraychak said.Wow. They issue that to ALL Soldiers and Marines... I'm just sayin'.I'll refrain from saying more. Right now.
StainTrain Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 1. I would like to see that "special" training. 2. Doesn't they person who stole it realize that it is banned. Once he does, he will surely turn it back over to the police.
DNP Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 Hey, nobody wants to be a criminal...even the guy stealing...errrr borrowing things from a squad car <laughs>Come on Tom....one more beer and let em have it.
Robocop1051 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 You guys would be surprised how often this happens. Locally, one of our LGS loaded up a uhaul a day in advance for a gun show... Need I say more?A fire broke out at our local uniform shop. The fire dept, in their infinite wisdom, pulled all the uniforms out of the store and stashed them in the back alley. Over 100 uniforms from various dept's... Gone!It sux, but it'll keep happening.
98Z5V Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 Come on Tom....one more beer and let em have it.I'm not far off, on the "special training" thing... :o
Matt.Cross Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 I'm not far off, on the "special training" thing... :o"Alright listen up boys, I'm only going to say this once. We point the really narrow end towards the enemy, rotate the little lever 90 degrees, and press the trigger to the rear. Now come on up and get your 'Special Training' diplomas and congratulate yourself on becoming one of the nation's elite forces!" <laughs>
98Z5V Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 ^^^ That's exactly what I mean... <lmao>In today's world, you shouldn't have to have any "special training" in order to arm yourself with firearms that are equivalent, or better, than those in the possession of criminals/sociopaths. Yes, you should be intimately familiar with the weapons platform, and yes, you should have to pass recurring qualification with the weapons platform.LEOs shouldn't have to acquire "special training" in order to carry ARs. They don't need "special training" for duty pistols - just the same training everyone else in their dept or academy gets. It's just "training." In my not-so-humble opinion, all LEOs should have pistols, shotguns and centerfire long guns at their disposal, all the time. Reserve the "special training" for things that truly are specialized, i.e., snipers, breaching, dynamic entry, etc. That's the whole reason for SWAT and HRT elements anyway, right?

We could bathe in all the wisdom oozing out of this post. Some agencies get it while vast lot of them don't.
