Sorry, I've lived through FLYNAVY and Wife-Like Typing guy. If he was actually in the military, I'll apologize to him. But there are plenty of people on FARK who claim to be in/have been in the military who are blatent liars about it.

I do tend to question anyone who calls a magazine a clip and then claims to have been in the military.

I knew people who did that, but I was in a comm unit so we didn't get a lot of trigger time.

You're seriously calling him out for arguing with and semi-trolling a drunk guy? Please tell us more about your medical heroics and why your gun-toting counterparts need modern sporting rifles anymore than anyone else, DRIVEAMBULANCE.

I prefer a mini-14 myself to ar-15's. I sold mine several years ago, and now wonder if i can ever buy one again when i get the money. I like them because they are fun and cheap to shoot. Also, you try shooting 100 rounds of 30-06 in a session at the target range for rifle practice.

I also prefer a mini-14 over an AR, for everything but coyote calling. I don't care if I scuff up the plastic on my AR laying real low in the mesquite and the dirt. I try to keep the mini 14 out of all that. I love the wood stocks. I own and enjoy shooting "assault rifles" but I'm really traditional in what I actually prefer to shoot.

I never had a mini-14 but I've always heard their accuracy is pretty bad in comparison to an ar-15. Not "minute of pie plate bad" but "4 inch groups at 100 yards bad". Accurate?

Accurate enough. The CA dept of corrections trusts them enough to arm their watch tower guards with them at their prisons. I liked them because they were simpler than the ar-15. It's the same reason I got a Browning Buck Mark pistol instead of the Ruger, even though both had about the same accuracy, but the Ruger more durability. The Buck Mark is just a lot easier to strip, clean, and take care of. Though I found out the hard way little parts can go wrong, even on the simpler pistol. Had a Glock 22(.40 S&W) for years, never a prob ...

My father has one. I liked my mini-14 in comparison. Though I can tell it wasn't as durable. Not that it jams(only will if you use cheap after market magazines), or isn't as accurate, more that will take a lot more punishment and last longer, like the Ruger Mk2 vs Browning Buck Mark. The AK is simpler, and will have less go wrong with it. The less parts you have, the less that can go wrong. That's part of why Glocks are so popular.

The only problem with the AK is you either have to buy one with a NATO length stock, swap it out on your own, or have really short arms lol.

muck4doo: violentsalvation: I have a Bulgarian Makarov, neat little pistol.

I want to check out the Bulgarians next time i go to a gun show. I've heard good things about them. Won't buy one, I already got a Russian, but do want to check them out.

I have one, it's a fun little pistol and damn reliable. I actually know someone who carries one.

My only gripe about a Glock, and keep in mind I carry my Glock 36 daily, is that you have to get used to the trigger. My accuracy with it was pretty low compared to my other pistols until I got used to it through several range trips.

To be fair to him, the vast majority of people in the military do nothing combat related. The only time the get to handle a firearm is when they have to qualify before they deploy. Having read his posts, I'm guessing he works in the legal office. He knows just enough terminology to sound like he's dealt with those issues, i.e. court marshals, but not enough to actually say anything intelligent about them....and that's if he's in the military at all

It comes with practice. You're going to have that long first pull, but if you practice with it, you will learn Glock. After that first heavy long pull, you only have to move your finger forward a little. You will feel a click. It's a hair trigger at that point. If you practice, you will be amazed at the double and triple taps you can do. Triple taps are a waste, doubles work nice. With practice you learn how to place your finger to just about make that second shot almost automatically happen. I say triple taps are a waste because my time with Glock was with model 22(.40 S&W). By the time your third tap came on doing that method the barrel would be pointing about 45 degrees up because of recoil. It's a wasted shot. That might not be the case with the Glock 17, but it was the case I found with the 22. Next time you go to the range, slow fire that first shot. Then slowly let you finger move forward. You will be surprised at how little it needs to go to give you a light and crisp trigger pull on the follow up. Training. Training. Training.

In all seriousness, I still love you. Your bit of abuse there was a nice distraction from watching videos of trauma team codes for the past two hours on kids.

imasig: "The new guns will ultimately be paid for by the officers themselves who are taking a deduction in their paychecks to make this happen."

Is bring your own gun common in law enforcement?

Many rural and small departments require their officers to provide their own firearms. They're given a list of "approved" weapons, and get to choose which they carry since they buy them. The only thing the department provides is the ammunition after that.

imasig: "The new guns will ultimately be paid for by the officers themselves who are taking a deduction in their paychecks to make this happen."

Depends on the department, at least that's my understanding. Some will issue you one, others will give you a list of approved firearms you can use and reimburse you for the cost, yet others will issue you one but you can buy one you prefer from an approved list at your own cost if you don't want to use the issue weapon. Here, special deputies for the Sheriff's dept get an approved list and NOT reimbursed, but then again it's not a paid position.

TheJoe03: Ow! That was my feelings!: I'm willing to turn in my AR if the Cops do the same. That is my gun owner compromise. Yeah, never gonna happen, we are farked.

I feel the same. You hear people on the gun control side talk up a place like the UK's gun policy, and that's fine, but even there they disarmed the regular cops as well.

This is very funny when you consider the fact that England has a higher violent crime rate than the US, or even South Africa.

This has been covered before, but the UK tallies violent crime much differently than the United States does. In the UK, it only takes the "potential" for violence to be counted as a violent crime, i.e. the victim felt threatened.

A good design is a good design. I don't care what type of government it comes from. The Makarov is perhaps the greatest little blowback design ever made. If you aren't armed, that may be the one for you.

Kids. Don't listen to these men. Fire a Makarov. Fire a Walther. One fits your hand and fires beautifully with 9x18 ammunition. The other bites the web of your hand, fires like shiat, and costs hundreds dollars more. It also fires .380 ammunition. Yeah, the choice is clear. If you want to try to pretend to be James Bond buy a crappy Walther.

If you're talking about college school cops, they're typically trained in the same school that State Police/State Troopers go to, and are considered state employees.

If you're talking about School Resource Officers, they're typically hired specifically for that purpose, or it's a "retirement" type of position given out to officers who only have a few years left till their pension kicks in. SROs are considered a "vacation" duty posting, as they rarely have to do anything physical, and spend most of their time mentoring or setting around relaxing.

If you want rejects, they're the ones typically found handling reports or working in the motor pool.

NewportBarGuy: If you need a rifle with a 30 round clip to go hunting, there are two reasons why:

2) You harbor fantasies of a world collapse, invest in gold, listen to Glenn Beck, and want to overthrow they tyrannical government,

In short, idiotic.

LOL. When a sniveling citizen wants one they're "military-style assault weapons." When cops want them they're "patrol rifles." Bunch of Orwellian horseshiat.

/Unless they really intend to buy M-16's, with the happy button option.
/In which case they are buying very bad guns and the reporter is fiercely trying to smooth it over.

Allow me to piss off both sides of this argument by pointing out that these "assault weapons" are jive-ass toys.
They take a low-powered, innaccurate semi-auto carbine and festoon it up with "military" features that are useless to anyone but a soldier in the field, and sell it for a fat markup.
They have two real functions - to con the dollars out of stupid, macho gun-fappers pockets, and to scare the shiat out of ignorant liberals who don't know anything about guns.
That's all they are especially good for - that and enriching those who make and sell them.

Frankly, I'd be embarrassed to be seen with one of the things - in my mind, they all look like this:
