    Good judgment comes from experience. And experience… well, that comes from poor judgment.

    The article mentions the dept. "training guru" who put the package together. So there weren't any "politicians" involved to screw up the works.

    The article states that optics must be 1.5x or lower but that they must also co-witness with irons.

    Will 1.5x optics such as the compact ACOGs co-witness with irons?

    I agree, it's nice to see a dept. that gets it.

    Nice to hear that somone there gets it.

    One odd part...
    Rifles must be in iron-sight mode at all times; optics can be brought into the fight once the officer deems it prudent.
    I find it prudent, always.

    Goddamn, I can't believe read through that giant piece of shit article. I guess any dumbass can go write for G&A.

    The rifle’s 1913 rail was wearing an attachable “suitcase handle” and had an old-timey triangle front sight. “Wow. Iron sights. I haven’t seen those on an AR in a while.”
    Suitcase handle? Jesus ****ing Christ. I'm surprised he didn't write about the "high capacity banana clips" AR15s use. Also, what ARs has he seen without iron sights? Is there a shortage of iron sights out there since he hasn't seen them in a while? Is he just hanging out with people who remove their iron sights?

    As he departed he said authoritatively, “Optics are worthless, anyway.”
    This is from one of the officers. Someone call the DOD. We need to tell them optics are worthless.

    Now that Pleistocene A1s have been fazed out
    *facepalm* I don't even...

    Rifles must be in iron-sight mode at all times; optics can be brought into the fight once the officer deems it prudent.
    Really? Is that the AZ Highway Patrol's official policy on optics? If so, thats completely ass backwards. I wouldn't doubt it if the writer misunderstood something.
    Know your role, and shut your mouth.

    We have a gun locker with a bunch of Bushmaster patrolmen carbines, is that close?

    I've carried my own personally owned carbine since way before they were cool in LE.

    At least one place is finally realizing that the original purchase price is only a small portion of the package.

    I'd gladly shell out some personal $$$ for an optic of my choosing.

    I think they mean that none of those dog shit flip ups like TROY are acceptable. I read into that... the IRONS are fixed and if you have a sight like a Eoturd, you can turn that on when you need to.

    The policy sounds solid, even thought the auther worded it a little weird.

    Good for DPS. It seems the agencies around here are getting their shit together. Here in Phx they have turned our patrol rifle program into some decent training actually and you need to be proficient to pass. the last class failed 1/3 of the officers that were selected to go. We have mandatory training/qual 4 times a year too.

    Florida State Highway Patrol uses them so they must be good.
