We have one armed officer that works 40 hours a week. Thursday thru Monday 1800-0200. This just started at the begining of the year. He is assigned to the ER and is supposed to stay there.
Bad thing is he doesn't fall under our chain of command. I can't tell him what to do although he works on my shift. If falls directly under the branch office and he takes instruction from the ER Coordinator. Sometimes he will come all the way over to the other side of the hospital while I am dealing with something and exasparate the situation. Stress me out lol
We work for G4S/TWC.

I carry a Glock 22 .40 Cal.
and while on patrol have a Ruger "Police" Carbine (PC4) in .40 Cal. rifle mounted in the vehicle.
(similar to this one)
We are not allowed to carry shotguns here in Cali. We can carry the Ruger because it is a "Pistol" caliber. The rifle has a "combat" sling, double mag. pouch gun-light and we also have Aimpoint red-dot sights but we don't carry those because they wont fit in the gun mount.

Super Soaker 500!
No, seriously, we're unarmed here at this wonderfull hospital but I do have a MN carry permit and I carry a Glock 23, although I can't remember the last time I actually carried it, it's just nice to know that I can if I feel the need.

Originally posted by Special InvestigatorIf you shoot someone with a .45, you may get prosacuted because they look at a .45 as a "killing" caliber while a 9mm is looked at as a "wounding" caliber.Yea, I know it is silly but thats how it is viewed by some prosacutors in Wisconsin.
I would thinik .45ACP would be the largest caliber allowed. I shudder to think how many s/o's. or newbie LE's, have tried to bring a Desert Eagle .50 to the range to qualify. The .45ACP is a common LE round, not VERY common but common enough.
As far as the 'wounding' comment, I will just say that anyone who shoots someone to 'wound' another, or has that mind set, has seen Lethal Weapon one tooooo many times.
Your only shooting to stop the threat.

As for training classes, well you can't carry unless you complete the 38hrs of LVIII for certification anyhow. I'm also certified with the STG/Shotgun and the Carbine, though I rarely get to field with either.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by gonzo1510I would recommend you go to gunbroker.com
I've learned alot about firearms from the site. Do you read American Handgunner or American Cop ? Both good reads check em out if you get the chance....
Re: the magazines...I don't read AH, but lump AC in with that APB magazine, that "Police- The LE Magazine", and that tactical response one (Can't remember the name sorry). I used to get them all, either for free from work, for free because I filled out a card, with a membership of some kind, or through the APOA. Good reads in the blue room, but not really informative.

Lawson, text me again on Friday, I'll let you know.

Originally posted by wilrobnsonYeah, I thought I've shot just about everything but the Sabers were something I hadn't tried, figuring they were basically Hydrashoks with a different name.
Safety slugs are a defensive round, I think if you shot some sort of small game with one the animal would just blow up

I don't really trust the differing manu websites and reviews, I shoot what I'm interested in. If I see it in a shop or something, I'll try it out and form my own opinions.
I have a long history of driving 1 inch dowel rods into large pumpkins (to simulate bones in a body) and shooting them with all sorts of things, that's how I decided on the ammo I carry (and what the wife carries).

In new orleans, I carried the Springfield xd-40 5 inch. When I came back to michigan, I carried the same for the past year. I am switching to a new Security company Saturday, and will be carrying a S&W .38 revolver as mandated by the employer under a federal contract.

Amazing what turns up when you google that. No wonder the advisory council was disbanded, they were thinking of requiring an associates degree to have a security license, or a Certified Protection Officer certificate from IFPO, plus CPS for Supervisory personnel.
