should we be allowed semi-autos?

Yeah, two Police Glocks were stolen from the local courthouse where they had been stored in a much looser manner than any of us could get away with. That's more the fault of the Court than the cops but would not surprise me if other Police guns have gone missing but nobody said nowt.

A couple of official information act requests have been denied or "they don't keep records " or something else like operational security.

Thanks. Except that is even more depressing than I envisaged. I'm going to have another vinho tinto.

Many moons ago in a faraway land I used to train armed offender popos .......

Very unimpressive it was at best

People would be "surprised" with the amount of pistols that have gone missing from police stations over the years...

I would say it is likely any average gun owner over here (like me for instance) would have more idea about gun safety, operation, maintenance and storage than most of UnZuds gun toting coppers.

And mass shootings?

No that was Aramoana. ..near Dunedin

[roogazza]

you may laugh at this (or maybe not ?) but mid seventies I was working and a "Break" was reported from Wi tako prison Upper Hutt.
We were called back to the station to be armed.
A Smith & Wesson .38 and had to sign out 3 ,yes 3 rounds !!! had to sign them back in too. Always remember that . I mean, I did get second in the pistol shoot in training, but 3 ???

Must admit I'd feel much better these days with a 17 shot Glock,might even be able to hit something hahahaha.

Which was kind of my point. That was 1990.

Shooting Police is frowned on by the authorities too ...

I like all my E cats, civilian small arms lag behind military ones by about 30 years. It's just the technology getting better. Just wait until the military start using energy weapons and tll the fuss about MSSA will be forgotten.

Doubt it. They'll want to go after them even if they are obsolete

Yes indeed, they used our pistol club for training. They didn't like anyone watching and for good reason. They were there twice a year and fired about 50 rounds each time, most of the regular club members shot about 150 a week. I saw on fellow whip out his glock, rack the slide, the mag fell on the floor and he spent the next 15 minutes finding all the rounds.
