Just heard the Addison police saying that the are the first department in the US to adopt the PS90. Their stated reason is that if they miss and hit the wrong person, there is less chance that they will be hurt than with other calibers. If you believed their spokesperson a fellow standing 400 meters away could just let his buddies shoot him all day long. I am about 100 meters from Addison, should I move? http://www.wbap.com/Article.asp?id=516404&spid=6051 |
Such an BS excuse. 11.5" AR15 would solve this problem, since they carry AR15 now....And save taxpayers a bunch of $$$$. |
I figured it was something like that. Sounds like they want some publicity or something. I wonder how many officers are pleased with this decision.
41Fan, here's a corrected link. I particularly love this quote:
Boy, that's one that could come back to haunt you.

ahhaha is this the county where the felony cat killing law came from? |
well all other TV watchers know that AR15 bullets intentionally seek out innocent bystanders, while 9mm hits the family dog with alarming regularity.... |
| I must admit that I would never have thought of giving the LEOs a less than lethal rifle with a good guy bad guy homing device in the bullets. What was it that the police used to use in those dense areas where they did not have to have a rifle. Oh yeah, I think that the called it a shotgun with buckshot. Lets see, ar15 + remington 870 + really nice double rifle case. Nope can't get up to $1700. |

Houston SWAT likes the FA version... Texas Houston Police Department Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) Issues the 11.43×23mm (.45 ACP) pistol. Issues the 5.7×28mm FN P90 personal defence weapon from 1999 (five). Uses the Dragoon ASV-XC Patroller 4×4 armoured car. |
Nice |
Pistols to the Tac team, or the whole dept?? I would take my .45 over a hotrod .22 mag., anytime. |
