I have to say that #5 surprises the hell out of me. Do any other departments have that policy? And are you told what you can carry off duty?

Disturbing.

8. Most of the stuff on the survival list as reviewed by Slim Pickens as they crossed into Russian airspace...

 

[SheffieldPD380]

In regards to #5, I worked at a University Police Department that did not allow back-up guns. We tried and tried with no luck. We even presented a proposal showing actual case studies where back-up guns saved Officer's lives. Nope, Nada, Not happening, No.

I noticed that he's in Canada, that probably answers the question.....

 

[824tsv]

"I noticed that he's in Canada, that probably answers the question....."
Yes, that answers that. I work for the largest municipal Police Service in the Province of Ontario. No unauthorized firearms are to be carried. With 5,000 officers on my department, it wouldn't surprise me that some do carry back up guns, but it's a don't get caught scenario, or you will be in a load of serious poop.

You have a fully auto M16? Wow.
It's hard to believe anyone would go for that. Obviously it is in your car when you are not, and what a prize to be stolen!

Fun to qualify with though huh?? Did they give you any of the old L.A.W.'s when they were handing out M16's? That was my favorite carry weapon of all. Better than the M203.

probably from a program where excess military weapons are loaned to LE Depts.

We have some M14s from this 1033 program.
