police are the real sovereign citizens.
I don't think the state police in MA use the traditional weapon mounted Racks in most of their cars.. they probably keep the rifles in "trunk" or a stupid slid out/lock box. I have a picture of the set up somewhere.. but google photos isn't cooperating

Every time that I know of an ltc holder having a gun stolen they have had their license pulled. But a cop can leave a pistol in the recycling bin on the street and it was just a mistake. And yes I'm aware that the police can not suspend an ltc just because a person reports their gun stolen.
I’ll just as likely believe it was the cop who stole it and is covering it up with a fake theft story as someone actually stealing it. They are liars and should not be trusted. If it was stolen, good. Schadenfreude.

It is to legitimize the use of a "weapon of WARRRRR" which is designed to kill as many people as quickly as possible and will cut a human torso in half with one shot.You notice they use the term "patrol rifle" as it would be less alarming to the sheeple when we all know it's an AR15.![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")

You say that in jest but it’s more true than not.
This officer was reckless, and endangered the lives of millions in the commonwealth. I would like to see the law upheld here. If they don't enforce this law. I would hope they over turn it. If you don't want to enforce the laws, get rid of them. No more double standards.General Law - Part I, Title XX, Chapter 140, Section 131L

Maybe we can get a Class action lawsuit going ? The citizens of the commonwealth have been Irreparably damaged. This has caused psychological pain & anguish.They wouldn’t charge one of their own over this sort of thing. Unless, of course, some gets a hair up their butt.

Don't be silly. It's a "patrol rifle". It will go on patrol. All by itself.

I was on Martha’s Vineyard last year.
Town cop had a suppressor on his (cough) patrol rifle in the front seat of his town (not state) cruiser.
Love the hypocrisy.
Guns and suppressors for me but no for thy
Bite me!

I’m betting the residential complex was where his girlfriend lives, not where his wife lives![[popcorn]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/043.gif "Popcorn [popcorn]")
Cut em' some slack, you know those rich people don't want to be bothered by the sound of gunfire while the cops are repelling those hordes of illegal aliens.
