A bizarre case leaves an Arizona community questioning their perception of reality and a police department wondering if Glock is the right sidearm for its officers.
Last week was a milestone for Arizona police officer Martin Walker. March 27 marked his twentieth year with the Dilbert Police Department and the day that he was first issued his Glock semi automatic pistol.
“In 20 years, thousands of rounds, I never had a jam, malfunction, hell, any real problem with it until [that day],” Walker said and, on the verge of tears, added. “I don’t know I could trust a Glock again though.”
As he was getting ready that Wednesday morning he discovered that his service pistol was missing. In the incident report he is quoted saying that he routinely stores it in either his “bedroom closet” or in “a drawer in his office,” but it was in neither place when he went to retrieve it.
“I distinctly remember putting it up when I got home [the day before],” he said, “but it gets a little fuzzy after that.”
He explained that it had been a rough day and he may have had a few too many beers after he got home.
But “that doesn’t explain how I lost it,” he said.
He said he had every intention of reporting it immediately when he got to work even though he couldn’t explain what had happened.
A missing service pistol is embarrassing for a police department, even more so when that missing gun is found at a crime scene.
When he arrived to work that morning — a bit late — he was “strenuously” asked to answer a call by “a superior officer,” one who Walker refused to name.

Way too far for too little return.
WOW now that was a poorly written article.
Just wow
Bad April Fool’s Day post.
Uhhhh...
I’m willing to assume that was a joke, but it wasn’t funny.
That was the worst written thing I have ever seen on a website in my entire life. I still don’t know what happened. Firearms literacy and basic literacy aren’t mutually exclusive.
A Glock should never carry a SIG. Was she riding a Colt?
It's total B.S. that you are posting....NEWB..!!
Stop!!
Sorry I went there.
And no one said a word about this post?? Or some others?

Horribly written satire or just crap writing.
Difficult read.
So be it....
I'm not in the mood to dick around with serious LIFE changing stuff...to have people like you yanking people's chains.
Fair enough?
Yeah....I'm cranky.
Sorry.
Sort of.....: )
“Was she riding a Colt?”
At the Airport, no way it was a UNICORN.
:-)
Works for me.
:-)
Have a great Day!!
I may use this as an example of poor writing.
They misspelled the town in the article. Should be Gilbert not Dilbert.
Heh...oh, whatever!
“Glock refused to speak English and would only answer questions in Austrian”.
The presstitute forgot to mention the tell tale short mustache on Glock’s upper lip, and the frequent up-raised right arm of Glock whenever speaking.
