[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 3193948, member: 684"] Since the patrol rifle has went from optional to commonplace, the good ol' scattergun has been deemed "archaic" just like the sturdy, .38 caliber revolver for LE duties. It probably all started with the famous (or [I]infamous[/I]) LA/North Hollywood shootout of 1997. LAPD patrol officers, who were 1st on the scene were armed only with Beretta 92s and shotguns. If you'll recall, they were going to local gun shops and taking rifles off store shelves to combat the two heavily armed and armored bad guys. Though it's been many years since, the idea of the potency and effectiveness of the shotgun vs the patrol rifle has been the subject of vast arguments, just like 9mm/.45ACP, Ford/Chevy, Coke/Pepsi, yada, yada, yada. Eventually, the patrol rifle won over the shotty and CLEET, in their infinite wisdom decided that there is no reason to teach shotgun any longer because no new cadet will ever use one instead of the AR-15, just like they don't teach revolver any longer. I hate it, but it kinda makes sense. I mean...for the most part, the bad guys aren't using wheelguns and shottys either. Yup...times they are a changing. Are you ready? [/QUOTE]
