Thread: Police gear set up a bit od?

So that photo of the female officer thats been circulating around from the Christchurch shooting. I had a proper look and she is holding her rifle right handed but has her side arm and less lethal set up for a left hander....... yea

Posed photo?

"Could you please turn the rifle the other way, it looks better" ?

Incidentally, does anybody who (did) 3 gun shoot rifle right hand, and pistol left?

There are some people, like my brother, who do one -handed things left handed, but two handed things right handed.

I do 2 handed things left and one handed right. Cricket left, squash right. But shooting handgun and rifle I do both right handed. Don't say it - I know... I was dropped as a baby.

the Tazer is the giveaway....its set up for a cross draw with her dominant hand...or a calvery twist with the weaker hand

Maybe because of that spare mag mounted on the right side of the stock, likely more comfy carrying it that way. I just don't know.


But look at her face. Looks like she is REALLY enjoying being humiliated, being forced to wear a head garb that marks her as a second class person.

She woke up that morning an independent citizen with full rights including the right to vote, AND equal standing with men before the courts.

Now she really enjoys having her female gender being made into a second-class joke, can't you just see that in her face? HUMILIATED.

A fine example of how to treat women colleagues, making them look even a bit more subordinate than before.

Or maybe she is sick of people taking pics of her, doing a particular job on a particular day she didn't want to do.

Orr alternatively, she chose to wear the head dress out of respect for those effected most by this tragedy. Likely those who she is at the time guarding. Its pretty unlikely she is being forced to do shit aside from standing guard for protracted periods of time

Fair comment. Subjugation of women - sexual phobia , racism, religous perscution, or what ? However I assume tgey are not above any NZ laws in such matters at any time so perhaps the loose scarf is ok apart from its possible risk in a battle situation.

Ever tried shooting a semi left handed? Hot brass down your neck, on your cheek, powder blowback? Lots of fun.

@kiwijames not true, only a bulpup design is a problem. Some are even easier to shoot left handed.

That's how I got into shooting semis as left handed rifle/caliber choices in bolt actions were few and costly when I first started shooting.

How could my own first hand experience be “not true”?

Sorry I should have said not true in my experience. I guess it depends on what you fired. I can imagine an AR15 with no shell deflector might be a problem.
