Carbines For Patrol
It’s the long gun every police officer needs!
If you’re a cop or private security contractor, you are probably issued a rifle or carbine for duty use. For my part, however, I prefer to use my own rifle for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that I am intimately familiar with it; I know that it is dead nuts on zero at 100 yards and it is set up just the way I like it with EOTech HWS, Bushmaster GSR piston/op rod gas system, Buttonsling single point sling, Surefire MIL-STD-1913 rail handguard and Vltor Modstock, but my home-built custom patrol carbine is another story.
The bottom line is that my patrol carbine is mine, not the department’s. I know several other officers who purchased their own patrol carbines for the same reasons I did. Some departments may not issue carbines, so in that case it is up to the officer to have his or her own. In today’s law enforcement environment, I believe that every officer should have a patrol rifle or carbine and if the department doesn’t issue one, officers should get their own.
