I've been watching a show called "Missing" on Amazon Prime. It takes place in France and most of the plainclothes cops carry revolvers.The Annoyed Man wrote:That's what I thought at first, but I think that is just part of the holster that looks like a cylinder, and there is definitely something that looks like a beavertail......but I could be wrong.VMI77 wrote:It looked like a revolver to me.The Annoyed Man wrote: I'm not certain what kind of gun he is carrying in that video, but it looks like a hammer-fired semiautomatic........I'm guessing in 9mm. This wiki page says that the standard firearm issued to French police officers since the early 2000s is a Sig Pro 2022, but before that it was a PAMAS G1, which is a Beretta 92 manufactured under license in France: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Police_(France). I can't tell for sure what the guy in the video has, but if you freeze frame and zoom in, the hammer/beavertail profile looks more Beretta-ish than Sig-ish.

Re: Concealed carry in FRANCE?
Didn't stop 127 people being killed in Paris, and a lot more being wounded....or help those people at the Charlie Hebbo office. I guess they weren't EVERYWHERE. I think people still get murdered in France too.E10 wrote: Didn't seem to need it, though, because there were soldiers EVERYWHERE. We saw a lot of Africans, etc., but managed to avoid any place like that in the video. Felt pretty safe the whole time.

Re: Concealed carry in FRANCE?
I sort of figured he was some kind of cop. There is another video of a "concealed carrier" shooting armed robber in an obviously Latin American country...turned out he was actually an undercover cop in Venezuela.gregthehand wrote:I saw this on Drudge Report's Facebook feed a few days ago and someone on there, who claimed to speak a little french, said that the man identified himself as a police officer or possibly some kind of military police officer. The person was upfront that they were not fluent but that they were pretty certain that they could make that out.

Concealed carry in FRANCE?
http://www.conservativeoutfitters.com/b ... a-surprise
Well, he does have a gun....is he really a cop? or a mere citizen? The only French I know besides how to say "yes" is "cheese omelet"....which I learned from a Steve Martin routine. Perhaps TAM can shed some light after watching the video.Video shows a group of "refugees" attacking a man who they do not know has a concealed carry license and a firearm
