[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 4107080, member: 684"] You would think so, and in [B][I]OUR[/I][/B] world, it is. But for some strange and twisted ideology, the typical sheep thinks a lawyer is smarter than the average Joe. And he will convince the typical juror that an AR-15 is "more lethal" than say a bolt action type of hunting rifle. The same way with an LEO's sidearm. We are instructed and highly encouraged to keep our duty weapons in their stock, out of the box condition, rather than doing any type of custom enhancements to it, hence, making the service weapon "more lethal." Which we all know is a big ol' stinking crock of bullsheet. I'm surprised it hasn't happened with the newer and popular RDS and WML condition duty weapons in use by so many cops today. Hell, I knew an officer once upon a time who carried a Beretta 92F on duty instead of a Glock, because his theory was that the Beretta had more public acceptance from the people over the Glock, because of it's more classic curves and visual design. It wasn't quite as nasty and tactical looking as the Glock. Kinda like if you're at the workplace and a fellow employee asks if you have a pocket knife. You pull out a SAK with it's simple and utilitarian look, they're alright with it. Some may even call it "cute." But haul out a Spyderco PM2 or (God forbid) a Microtech OTF and give it a good thumb flick or spring it into action, and watch em squirm. :yikes2: [/QUOTE]
