Again, Why not?

The postal carriers where I live, on this rural route, do not get the tradiotional vehicles. They driver their own personal vehicles, minivans, cars, trucky, 4 wheelers and motorylces. They just put a magnetic sign on the car or whatever to make it official when they are working.

Head on up to outside Seattle. Go ask the game warden who is driving an 8 jimmy, who paid for that car :-) He probably bought the lightbar and siren himself too :-)

there's a whole lot of problems I can see with that policy!

Sure, why not?

Same with Bowie Co. SO. I don't know if they even have an approved list.

But then, our deputies buy not only their own firearms, but also their uniforms and even have to buy their own patrol cars!

seriously ?

It's funny. His is so old and worn that the backstrap is shiny from his hand. Right where the grip safety on a 1911 would be.

Like I said in my post, a few officers have Glocks. And yes, most of them are Gen 1 unless you've fired it so much that when it went in for service Glock replaced it free with the latest model...
