I keep checking to see if this is really ARFCOM.
A member said that someone doesn't need an AR-15??? Blasphemy, I say! Everyone needs an AR-15. Even cop hating members. |
|
Agreed. My AR is just a spaceholder until my patrol Shrike gets here.
|
|
I can think of at least one LEO who is quite thankful that the local Sheriff's Dept now allows deputies to carry personal ARs in their cruisers...
I can also think of one maniac who wasn't pleased that he had it. Fortunately, his concern over the matter lasted approx. 10 seconds or so. |

"Hello....Springfield Armory?....I think I may have come across a new market for the M-1 Garand tank rifle....yes, I'll hold....." |
|

I don't think LEOs or civilians need any semiautomatic firearms. We should limit them to .30 caliber bolt-action or black powder firearms and be done with it.
The only people who need such things are the military. If you want to shoot them, join the military. |
|
Relax, this is only a test. A test of our sarcasm meters to see if they can detect it. |

actually considering that he's one who would arrest and throw those who own AR15 rifles in his state to prosecutors, I think he's the one being sarcastic. |

they just need a good slingshot and powers like Neo from the Matrix
|

Where I live.... The LEO's really need to learn how to shoot. I shoot with alot of them on the weekends. It's really very scary to think they have to save themselves and us..... So, I feel they really do 30 round mags and AR15's. As a matter of fact I think they should tape them together. So, they can reload as fast as possible.

I'm perfectly happy with any centerfire rifle or carbine that will pentrate body armore and allow reasonably precise fire and a quick follow up shot. AR, M1 Carbine, M1 Garand, even a lever action in .30-30 provided it has good sights would be fine with me. My employer decided on 20" A2's with iron sights from patrol use and 14.5" M4's with Eotechs for swat (Which replaceds MP5's). Its a reasonble response considering its easier to train occupational shooters to hit vcenter mass with an AR than to score headshots with slugs and bead sighted 870's. |

In reality (no sarcasm) the VPC and Tom Diaz has publicly come out against arming police with ar-15s and such.
No really. |
|
Cops don't need guns because...
(1) the bad guys will take it away from them and use it against them. (2) since Brady keeps criminals from buying guns, they will steal them from cops (3) they can always call 9-1-1... so, wait, the cops ARE 9-1-1. Well, see how stupid that sounds? If it sounds stupid when said about cops, it sounds equally stupid when cops and politicians say it about the citizens. |

Only beer slayer could grasp the subtle nuanced description of "blunt pointy" stick. I understand perfectly. The rest of you retarded bastards probably slice your butter with a chain saw. Drive on, BS, drive on. |

Is it easier to train someone to make center mass hits with an AR or headshots with a Glock? |
||
|
Yeah! The cop who went to the gun store was still pushing his shopping cart full of ARs down the freeway after the whole thing was over. I saw the movie on FX. |
||
|
I never make jokes about AR-15s. And I love to throw crooks at prosecutors. I don't see mere possessoin of AWs as worthy of such treatment. |
|
|
is it so dificult to practice faulure to stop drills? the cops got away with using shotties and .38s for what? 80 years? north hollywood shoot out would have ended quickly if a cop with a shot gun had fired for the HEAD. but thats the real reason why police depts keep bouncing fro one pistol caliber to the next and putting rifles in cars. its because they aren't training for shit. our sherrifs dept opened its new range last month. 2 deputies have already shot themselves there. I'll bet in the last 6 months I've fired more pistol ammunition than 90% of law enforcement officers have in the last 5 years (3000+ rounds) that last 10% I shoot with. |

Glock Fo-tee's??? |
|
|
BBWWWAAAAHHHAAHHA |
||
|
eh ARs are ok I draw the line at bayonets
they don't need those evil bayonet lugs on their rifle |
|
Does a Glock 22 count? |
|
|
actually one of the guys shot himself in the head.... ETA with his handgun.....also the other one wasnt killed with an Ar15, he was killed by a Swat officer. Guns dont kill people....People Kill people |

Chuck Norris doesn't like this thread.
The ONLY weapon the cops need is Chuck Norris When cloning becomes available, Chuck Norris will clone himself, and become THE POLICE.... |
|
Of course they don't "NEED" them. Neither do we. But it's sure nice to have around any how.
I'm all for M-14s myself. Now there's a real rifle, none of this plastic shit. |
|
cept for the fiberglass stock on the M14 |
|
|
Reading some of the replies, gentlemen maybe I am in the wrong forum
|
|
Wooden stocks of course. |

I would ditch the vest... A poo cover'd stick is teh Shiznit! |
|
|
+1 when is the last time ya'll looked down the barrel of a felon's shot gun while holding a "issued" pistol??? 20% of the people who get shot with pistols die...... 80% of the people who get shot with shotguns die. do the math! who ever says that LEO don't need AR-15's is either not a LEO or if they are a LEO they are "retired on duty". Not equipping the people who keep you safe is fucking nuts!!! |
|
|
Good lord. Can you actually be this dense? Are you two unable to understand sarcasm? B/T/W good thread motown. |

There is no reason why a cop shouldn't have an AR,while he/she is OFF DUTY.
A cop carrying an AR ON DUTY is not currently feasible.Exactely what kind of message would it send to the public if a cop was carrying an assault rifle for the explicit reason to use it against civilians ? Besides,the cops I shoot with at the range can't hit a milk jug at 40 yards.So if they were to actually use an AR on duty,most likely innocent people will get hurt. |
|
My brother's dept has a Mossberg 500 and Mini-14 in each of the patrol cars...
The shotgun is just clipped in a rack in the trunk, while the mini-14 is in a hard case with several loaded mags. Not sure why they haven't switched over to the AR yet, but I believe it has something to do with the less threatening look of the mini, compared to the evil looking AR15... |
|
How do you get blunt and pointy at the same time? They're opposites. |
|
|
Woah woah woah, since when should cops be allowed to have pointy sticks? They're evil assault sniper sticks that will jump up and stab people by themselves for no reason!!! We have to ban the pointy sticks, for the children! Cops should be issued Bibles and recieve training in how to talk criminals out of their evil ways. Anything else will only lead to more violence.

Sherriff Andy didn't need a gun to tame the town drunk of Mayberry, and Barney only carried a single bullet.
If cops would only practice speaking down-home southern wisdom to the criminals like Sherriff Andy, they certainly wouldn't need no evil black rifles. |
|
hang on i gotta get my fish stringer. the other one is full. as for the poo covered stick. that should be used for swat units. it's an assualt stick. |
||
|
the pointy sticks will need safeties of course.
who needs cops anyway??? when you have TEXAS SWAT? |
|
When you are back there in la-la land, take a look at the rifle rack next to Andy's desk. |
|
|
There was a deputy around these parts that carried a .357 wheel gun. His bullets had corroded and rotted away and when he tried to fire....it made no boom.
And another deputy, at the same training facility was shooting his glock and got slide bite EVERY TIME HE SHOT! But yeah, the cops dont need AR-15s. "When you only have one shot....you better make it count." Its for the children. |
