Dumb (my opinion) department duty firearm policy

[platoonDaddy]

Took two USCP friends to the range this am, they wanted to practice for upcoming Q's. Their Department Policy prohibits using their duty firearm on public|private ranges. So they purchased a G22 for their public|private shooting.


In my opinion that is a dumb frigin policy.

Wonder if any other departments have a similar policy?

it is in place for a few reasons.

Liability being primary.

I agree. Nothing like that where I'm at.

Not at all unheard of.

The mentality behind it is if you injure/kill someone else with dept weapon then the dept can be linked to it and then some chief might get his/her/xir fat ass dragged to civil court and have it all over the news.

Do I agree with it? No. Because similar policies state you can only carry your approved weapon as a CCW with badge and creds.

Lots of guys either get a personal CCW license and or get a waiver to carry their own gun just to cut down on the mother may I spiel.

Every time you see or hear of a stupid, retarded policy keep in mind that it is universally as a direct result of:

A. Some dumbass officer being a dumbass
B. Some Alcoholic City Attorney
C. Some fat ass Chief comfortable in their position.
D. Some nosy City Councilor who has never been anywhere nor done anything in life

The easiest workaround is what your friends are doing, buy their own gun and shoot on their own time.

I personally have had more than my fair share of dealings with agency heads and not a single one cared how awesome you were with your scores beyond if you passed or not.

Correct sir.

Also, was not my intent to detract from the OPs post. Just showing that things could be worse.

But if anyone wants to suggest a quality entity where the carrying of personally owned SBRs with cans exist I'm all ears.

It's all good bro. Another policy states any would be terrorist activity in the AO will be responded to in a vigilant and timely matter in addition to effectively bringing all appropriate assets on scene. It's filed under smoke and mirrors.....


We gotz IOPS, on top of SOPs inside of idontknowwhatthefvckthisissupposetodo OPs... Yay bureaucracy.

Same with us, agency range/ammo/instructors. That seems to be the standard policy with all Fed LEO's (0083's, not agents/investigators).
