As first responders today’s law enforcement professionals are faced with a myriad of tasks that may potentially throw them into any number of scenarios. The wise Officer (providing his agency approves) will have equipment to sustain him during such instances. Many LEOs carry in the trunk of their squad an “active shooter” kit. This may include everything from a plate carrier with extra mags for their patrol rifle/carbine to more specialized implements. I see these new SF mags as a force multiplier.
If a LEO is walking into the next Virginia Tech why would you not want them having these? If sixty rounds it “too much” for a LEO then what about thirty, or even twenty? How much is “too much”? Do you think the LAPD Officers responding to the North Hollywood bank robbery on 28 February 1997 could have used these, or how about the FBI agents in Miami on 11 April 1986?
To date there are several municipal law enforcement agencies in CONUS that have belt-fed and or anti-material small arms for everything from perimeter control to area denial at sensitive sights. 9/11 changed the game, many in the profession anticipate events like what Mumbai saw in 2008 occuring here.
