A submachine gun belonging to a Jefferson County SWAT officer was stolen out of the cab of his personal truck last week while he was at a sports bar, and Lakewood police are still trying to locate the weapon.

The officer was at the bar on Feb. 21 with other members of SWAT when the HK MP5 was stolen, said Lakewood police spokesman Steve Davis.

The sports bar, Jackson s Hole, is across the street from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the Colorado State Patrol at 675 Kipling.

The officer parked his Ford pickup in the parking lot about 6 p.m., police said. When he walked outside at 8:20 p.m., he noticed his truck had been broken into, Davis said.

The Second Ammendment is supposed to be the law of the entire country, not just the Live Free or Die State.

Did he get a DUI when the cops came out to investigate?

Or was he planning on walking home in full combat gear?

I just find it interesting that only his pickup was broken into, and only the weapon stolen. This sounds fishy...Almost like someone knew this truck had this weapon in it. Was it a neighbor, or someone associated with the Dept.? I would have a hard time believing this weapon was not at least concealed out of site.

Broken in two?

Either I can learn from my brother's experience, or not. I chose to listen to the guy who ran to the sound of the guns, not the guy who had another doughnut and waited for backup.

I guess you ignored my post #72 and what I said about training and expectations of what shooters and highjackers wanted prior to Columbine and 9/11.

Sorry to waste your time...
