[QUOTE="ishootkittens, post: 1482426, member: 23225"] Excellent post! I agree 100%! I'm not on our tac team nor am I a sniper. My best friend is our tac team sniper and while I've shot with him for 20 years I've never "trained" with him and the other tac guys. Maybe one day but as of right now I'm a bit to young and inexperienced to run with those guys. But after training with them, I started putting together what an ideal rifle would look like in order to maximize my effectiveness. I'm a smaller guy, no way I could make it to a rooftop in good time with a 20lb rifle (vs a 10lb. So hopefully my tac guys will take care of me in those situations, but my department will let me carry what I wish. If it were up to me, I'd carry all my guns. Can u imagine if ONE person would have had a precision rifle during the north hollywood shootout while the 2 men ware covered in armor standing on the sidewalk shooting cops. Or when swat is 45min away and a shot presented itself? I appreciate the concern. It is definitely needed. Lol and I'd like to add that police departments like 308's because they are CHEAP...which is why we like alot of things! If it may save someone's life, I'll gladely stand trial for it but again, I totally understand the concern. In 99% of the cases, we use department issued ammunition. Just less liability and judicial headaches that way. We had a judge ask why we use hollow points in our Glocks vs fmj's. But again, thank you for all u do over in Cali! And I appreciate the post!
