She is a Policewoman, right? Shouldnt she have a certain type of gun, are there rules about that?
Do we know how far away from Hasan she was when she was shooting him?
Things I still don’t know.
.
Police used to carry a .32 or .38 revolver
They did not stop the target
Some states and cities even banned the S&W .357 Magnum for LEOs - It “killed”
I have also seen a young cop carry a nice SIG .40 - and a .357 Mag as a backup
I asked him (after he insisted I examine his SIG) why he chose to carry two (2) calibers of handguns - requiring two (2) calibers of cartridges
When you strap on your iron you are not going to a gun show or shoot a B western flick
You need practical, dependable large caliber stoppers
And lots of regular practice
Otherwise just go sell shoes in the mall
There are many PDs that allow .45’s
They are heavier and bulkier - but there are some now made with composites &/or titanium
Law Enforcement or the military is not the career for a showboat or someone wanting to be a hero
Or to hide in a Shrink’s starched and pressed uniform or whites stateside
I used semi-autos and full-autos in the military
I prefer revolvers for my own use - but a scoped semi-auto carbine for hunting or trespassers/thieves
At the rate the US is going - they may soon get up close and personal lessons about the real reason for the 2nd Ammendment
That includes any lefties/thugs in the SS or elsewhere
I jump to conclusions!
