NYPD to armor all patrol cars and command vehicles

[voodoo_man]

Understood, and agree. Probably only 10% or so took advantage of it. I recall Mas Ayoob writing decades ago, quoting the NYPD firearms guy then, that the average NY cop would rather have a nice Parker pen than a custom S&W. I can't imagine that things have improved in that regard.

I see it all the time, we have some who even say "I carry it because I have to, not because I want to." Same won't carry off duty, won't train, etc.

It is best to disregard these types and focus on those who care, even remote interest should be fed.
