chuck,

since you have never worn the queen's cloth in any guise, you would have no idea how valuable a 'spare' round would be to those whom wear blue or green.

Not sure what you're pointing at Mike?

The text of the page has been changed...It originally mentioned Dip Sampling of FAC holders.

Mike

I have never professed to have I emrolleyes ? On the other hand I know the law and how to obey it! If they feel they need more ammo then they should deal with it as appropriate or make their shots count, not break the law! At any rate I am pushed to recall any incident in the Uk where the police ran out of ammo otrher than at a trainiong session maybe! Perhaps you can enlighten me on what incident the police used up all 58+Rounds hanging off an MP5 (as they do in Galsgow airport) or emptied 34+ rounds of 9mm from a Glock.

I think you missed the whole point of the comment and the context in which it was made, no matter.

It is reported that this is in fact a ploy to discredit some officers by another officer.

Chuck.
Your reply clearly sums up you have absolutely no idea about the real world. Who on earth mentioned running out of ammo?

Find a squaddie (any one will do ) and ask 'why he may have a spare round'

SORRY BUT WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM EXACTLY? "REAL WORLD"?? wtfwtf wtfwtf wtfwtf wtfwtf

So effing WHAT, I am not ex military so if the phrase has some meaning to you then all fcking good and wonderful, go have fun with it and stop annoying me with inane fcking comments that have eff all to do with the article.

So I have never been in the army - I have never claimed to be have I :cool2: :cool2:

Maybe you have - so big fcking HOORAY party2 to you! Do you want a medal, sorry but I am all out of chocolate watches and CDM's right now. It's not as if you were the only person on here to have served is it?? jeezuz. Am I supposed to understand some vague reference that has been made when the whole point of this story is ILLEGAL AMMO!

"REAL WORLD", what a fcking t*@t comment! No idea what world you are in but it's well clear of planet earth and then some!

As for the officer, he has NO REASON for the spare round(S) no matter whether it is to plug his ass in a firefight, slot himself instead of capture, adjust his scope settings, scratch his ass with it or whatever. I really don't care to be honest so why you need to bring it up is beyond me - it is completely irrelevant and if it was some obscure humour reference then it failed miserably.

The fact is: he had ammo when he should not have - at a time when the law abiding are being painted as the PROBLEM!

emrolleyes emrolleyes emrolleyes

Oh and just to save you telling me (because I really do nnot give a toss) there is of course this answer;

To etch his name on it and so hold the bullet with his name on it! :roll:

Chuck,
All I'm going to say regarding Mike's point is I know exactly where he's is coming from and yes, I've served.


Also, given the recent shooting in Canada, any comments?

The terrorism angle to do with radicalism here and prevention of a Mumbai type attack or some "self styled jihadi" running amok in the UK.

Just because you don't believe it's possible doesn't mean it won't happen.

Chuck

Your complete disrespect for those that serve or have served is your right. You only have that right because we serve or have served. You may know law you know Jack about CTC and what Intel is.
History has proved after every incident the persons behaviour was not normal or had changed and a whole load of other indicators. Any scrap if Intel is gold dust till disproved.
If I were profiling you, your ranting's and anti police attitude coupled anti Muslim attitude (your post about moderate Muslims was disgusting) would mean I would be obliged to report you as a possible anti Muslim who hates the police who has firearms so may be a risk to public safety. In that you may flip or be radicalized by a extremist group to carry out a anti Muslim attack.
The police you hate so much would then have very good Intel from a credible source so would then be obliged to follow that up with a visit to your house. They would take you Firearms seize your P.C and investigate away. And you better hope none of them are ex military or have sons and daughters serving as they may be never wrong coppers.

Stop now or thread will be locked.

Chuck is not what has either been hinted at or said out loud in this thread. People has obviously gotten the wrong end of the stick.

I honestly cannot believe what some of you have said.

Always surprised by the massive volume of subjects and comments that can be taken the wrong way and upset people. Always the peril with text communications, all the body language and verbal inflictions are lost. As a rule, I try not to pass judgement in any of our public servants and their actions because I know nowt about what they have to do. I am just glad these people do it, rather than me. :goodjob:

Bit simplistic, I know....but, apart from the odd USAF wing, I don't think I have overly p*** off anyone serving or who has served.
