[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 844870, member: 17969"] Man, are you serious? Its called "CIVIL LIABILITY". You said it in your own post "they being legal citizens, have every right to own firearms privately" If a police officer uses his own "personally obtained" firearm in a crime, and he's off duty, then ANY victim would be unable to "SUE" the agency who employed him. If he uses a Agency issued, or city issued weapon, and he is off the clock and commitd a crime, he has possibly placed the agency, city and maybe county at financial risk. Let me use an example that even Gladis Kravitz could understand and spread around the neighboorhood honestly. The same applies to weapons. Any officer issued a weapon for employment as a police officer has the obligation to use the weapon only in the line of duty. If its used on OFF TIME, to commit a crime, then the weapon is being "mis-used" and liability transfers to the department or agency who issued it. Lets say a cop while in his off time catches his girlfriend cheating on him, the cop takes out the handgun issued by his department and cranks off 2 rounds into his "now" ex girlfriend and in addition, sees her cheating friend running away. While the guy is running away, the cop cranks off 9 more shots trying to hit the guy and in the process, he hits 3 bystanders. The cop then fires one shot into his own mouth and takes his life. Who would be finanically responsible for his actions? Who would the innocent bystanders "sue" for their injuries? Had it not been for the issuance of the weapon in the first place and the allowance of that weapon to be in possession of the cop during his off time, the equiptment involved would have not been mis used. It makes a huge difference which gun is used. Understanding that may give you a different perspective. My argument is only with liability, as I agree that private persons (like cops) most likely have personal guns that they could carry with them. What i reject is the notion that taking an issued weapon away from a police officer would make them "bigger targets". This is plain ridiculous. Peace. [/QUOTE]
