Pinellas County FL Sheriff’s office pulls Adams Arms rifles over “serious” issues

The Adams Arms purchases didn’t go through a competitive bid process, the standard practice in government for purchases over a designated threshold where an agency solicits proposals from potential vendors and ranks them against each other.
Competitive bidding isn’t required by law for sheriffs, independent constitutional officers in Florida who are subject to rules different from those governing local governments.
Still, experts say competitive bidding is still considered best practice for keeping the process transparent.
Instead, Gualtieri relied on a memo from a training deputy that cited internet research.
lol you really can’t make this shit up
Guys, it’s 2019. Why are people still so ignorant? They could’ve bought Colts but nope. No doubt someone in procurement wanted to be “cool” and go with something “against the grain”. Now the taxpayers are out a bunch of money and the good guys are out a bunch of guns.
For those of you in the know - “Craig” (not his Christian name, but his given name) is on their SWAT team. These fuccs use 7.5” ARs with no cans. At least the military pays for hearing loss compensation. Geez.
Good thing SWAT never actually uses their guns like patrol guys do.
