City ,state and federal gun auctions

[TX-RAT]

It's a common practice of most state law enforcement agency's to auction off their used weapons to offset the cost of new ones. Most of the weapons we traded in or auctioned off were wore out beyond repair or were no longer reliable.
Should we allow these weapons to be sold to the civilian market?

1. Your duty weapons must of sold for a higher price

since they were unfired. :)

[TX-RAT]

4. Is there a point your trying to make?

[MrBenchley]

6. I think Dems is just pissing and moaning

because you don't seem trigger-happy enough to suit him.

[TX-RAT]

7. can't please everybody

[Superfly]

8. I think that's called "a joke"

sarcasm and humor don't come across the internet very well.

[MrBenchley]

10. As we see from Dems' next post...

it was no joke at all...

[demsrule4life]

11. And we have also seen

that a Dem that is not on the far left is not a Dem according to you.

[MrBenchley]

14. Gee, dems, don't you mean "left of Stalin?"

Where do you dredge up this nonsense?

[demsrule4life]

16. Since you put conditions on what makes a Dem

[MrBenchley]

18. Too TOO funny, dems...

Find any of those pro-Democratic posts of yours yet?

[demsrule4life]

9. No point, just messing with you

15. Thats cool

Should have added - in the line of duty- sorry

[demsrule4life]

17. I know that is what you ment

I'm just an asshole. :)

[TX-RAT]

19. ain't we all

[demsrule4life]

20. One way to find out is ask Bench how he feels about Texas

[Superfly]

21. I think he feels everyone outside his little microcosm of NJ

is beneath his contempt. And, God forbid, you are an average, run-of-the-mill Democrat. Nooooo...you've got to be an ass-stompin', bumper-sticker plasterin', picket-linin' rad-eee-cal.

[MrBenchley]

22. I think there's nothing quite as funny

as the RKBA crowd trying to pretend other people are out of touch...

"you've got to be an ass-stompin', bumper-sticker plasterin', picket-linin' rad-eee-cal."
Better that than a pinhead with a gun fetish, I suppose.

[demsrule4life]

23. Well at least you finally admit to something

[MrBenchley]

25. Yeah, I admit pinheads with a gun fetish are funny

and not particularly fooling anyone...

[Superfly]

24. And there we go with the personal attack. Be-A-utiful.

Really, couldn't give a shit what you called me, because whatever sliver of respect I had for you as a "supposed" member of the same political party went out the damned window about 20 minutes ago.

[MrBenchley]

28. Gee, fly, I just mentioned pinheads with a gun fetish

We got a whole thread full of their maunderings open in this folder...back when they signed a petition urging pResident turd to give the gun lobby free rein...

I didn't expect you to jump up and volunteer....

[TX-RAT]

26. If i told him my wifes from Queens NY would it help?

[demsrule4life]

27. I don't know

I'm not from AL, I'm here on orders and he won't cut me no slack.

[MrBenchley]

2. I think it's a poor idea...

Hope they were not driven to it by underfunding...

[demsrule4life]

3. They could save costs

by letting police officers buy their own guns. Most gun savy cops would rather carry what they want instead of being forced to carry a gun picked out by a bunch of desk jockeys.

[TX-RAT]

29. Tried that

When the department furnishes the ammo it turns into a hassle.
9mm
40s&w
45acp
I would rather they carry same weapons, same mags, same ammo.
If two deputy's got in a bind it would be to their advantage to be able to swap mags. We issued 220 Sig's, a very tough and reliable weapon.

5. Why not?

I own a Glock 23 police trade-in. It works wonderfully.

[TX-RAT]

12. Our weapons had 9000 to 12000rnds through them before trade in.

We were required to fire 250rnds per month at the range. I just don't have confidence in a weapon with that many rnds through it. Did the dealer tell you how many rnds went through before you bought it?

[FatSlob]

13. Maybe it was more than that.

However, Glocks are typically good for over 100,000 rounds before they are worn out. I had mine checked out by a Glock certified armorer before using it.
