You know, if I was in procurement for the local Gendarmes, I’d lose the ARs and issue something along the lines of an Mini-14, or even an M-1 carbine.f Good guy guns for these bodycam vids.
One of those gun scribes mentioned above thought that the cops should keep lever action rifles in the squad car. A thirty-thirty has plenty of ballistic authority at cop gunfight range and then some, and talk about good guy associations with the public...it’s a white hat cowboy gun!
Maybe it was Jeff Cooper. Can’t remember.
Mossberg makes a tactical 30-30 lever gun. It’s ugly, but I would have one just because.
