The glock is a very well known gun. I believe officers in our area use a similar gun made by Smith Wesson. Although a very powerful gun it seems that criminals have guns that are similar or even more powerful. Officers of the law should be equipped with guns that are not permitted for anyone else to have, after all they are the men and women protecting us.
ReplyDeleteWell I am kind of excited that now I know where the name glock came from. I never knew! Is it good that civialions have these guns? Are they better then the cops guns? if so... that's pretty sick!
ReplyDeleteGood to know our officers have such high quality guns. Not so sure about civilians having these. I wonder how often they are really used for protection...
