Thread: Police Fire..... Bystander Safety?

We have three cops at our pistol club that train on their own time with their own funds, And they are damn good shots I am happy to have them in my neighbour hood
It is pity that more of them don't join Pistol clubs or the Deerstalkers to improve their skills, maybe the NZPA and NZDA should look into encouraging them to join with reduced fees

I am not 100% sure how accurate this is but I was told it is sort of discouraged for them to be members of gun clubs and the like.
I grew up with 2 of our local cops. Both in AOS and one used to be a club member. Not sure why he isint any longer.
The other when finished training comes down for a nosey if I am or others are there and has a play. Seems very interested yet when asked to join changes subject. Would be good to have them as members.

They get discounted fees at ASC, and at least one of our top trainers offers free one-to-one training. On one induction course I took, 5 of the 7 attending were police.

Why do they need discounted fees?

Surely they could afford to pay full price with all the money they save from only having to pay half price at McDonald's.

To encourage them to be members, why encourage a rift between Joe Plod and Joe Public? Did you charge them double in your pub?

When they were getting that it was in part because of MacDonalds belief that it was, in a small way, saying thank you, and in part because most franchises that I knew of at the time were owned by former Police.

Maccas used to have a pretty good relationship with the local cops when I was there. If we had a drunk driver in the drive through, we would stall them slightly so a cop could get close, they would tail them for a bit until they were away from the shop, then pull them over for a test. That way the shop did not get targeted for tipping them off.

Not sure what the story is now.

McDonald's saying thank you? Or getting cheap security patrols?

What's the difference between cops in uniform being given half price, or free McDonald's and a half price, or free blow job from a whore?

Why should cops be given discounts just because they're cops? Surely anyone giving something away at a discount expects 'something' in return.

Smacks of corru.......favoritism.

Do you hold the same view on all the emergency services which include Ambulance & Fire who get discounts or just the Police?

Now if he had used his DF discounts anywhere over the years, would he admit the hypocrisy, or blame it on getting his pills mixed up again?
