    Default Local "Ask a cop" article discusses OC.... Interesting read

    The officer discusses cops speeding.... Owning "assault rifles"...

    And I cannot wait until Navy reads what he says about OC.

    I in no way endorse this article.

    I think I know one thing he will say...

    It continues to be true, that the misinformation continually comes from police, instructors, and gun shop owners. I don't see this article changing that.
    God gets blamed for a lot of things now days, they ask “why would He let this happen?, Why doesn’t He stop it? I really don’t know, but I wonder if He wants to ask us the same questions. All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing

    Couple of things I got from the article.

    1) I doubt that the article is written by a real police officer.
    2) I'd like to see what an AR-15 with a "30 round clip" looks like. Must be difficult to shoot.
    3) Coming from an extremely "gun friendly" state, I'm surprised at many of the comments.

    I do not think this was written by an officer.

    Do I need an AR-15 with a 30 round "clip"? Well actually, my Bushmaster XM15-M4 type carbine is not an AR-15 originally developed by Armalite and then sold to the Army who created the M16 out of it. And my 30 round magazine? It's actually not that much ammo, and to live in a free society, the least I could ask for is 30 bullets to save my life.

    Oh ya Anonymous Idiot, did you forget about the North Hollywood bank robbery and shootout in the 90s? The suspects were armed to the teeth and covered in body armor that the police could not penetrate which is why it is now standard for police to carry rifles in their cars.

    The fact that the author is anti-assault rifle and would like CCers to inform LEOs that they are so-armed makes me think he is a cop. That pretty much mirrors the sentiment of cops that I've talked to concerning those very subjects.

    I also find it highly unlikely that a major news outlet (they're an NBC affiliate) would risk their credibility by faking something so trivial. It would be pointless for them to lie about having a LEO write an article.

    However, there are many cops that have said they do not think you should notify if not required, and many encounters where people have informed and the cop did not say anything nor care at all. So we cant generalize a few hundred thousand law enforcement officials on this. Same for "assault" rifle views and everything else.
