I ran into a Sheriff's deputy who sometimes hunts with my group for the first time when he was in his squad car and full regalia . . . We started talking guns and he gave me a quick tour of everything on him and in his car . . .
- Glock .357 SIG with 4 clips on him and another dozen in the car
- 870 with everything from breaching rounds, buckshot, even rubber slugs
- Short barreled M4 .223 with so much stuff bolted to it it was silly
- Remington M700 in .308 with a high end 10 power scope
- Grenade launcher looking gizmo for teargas cannisters and some type of net thing
This guy's not a SWAT cop - just a rural county deputy. He said that 5 years ago all he had was an old Colt Trooper .357 then his department got some homeland security dollars and went on a shopping spree. Got me to wondering what all cops typically carry around these days?
