Thread: Why frontline cops should be armed

Dad told me the story of when he got them. They had just bought a brand new Ford Falcon so around the early 80s, and he owned a car parts store. He fitted them one weekend and forgot to tell mum. Next day or so she is trundling down Market st (narrow one way with a 10km limit) in down town Blenheim following a cyclist doing about 5km. She thinks she will give him a quick "peep" so he knows she is there and so he doesnt just ride out in front of her. BLAAAAAARRRRRTTTT!!!!!!. She got as big as a fright as the cyclist did. Just about wet the seat of a brand new car. Boy did she have words with dad when she got home........Not impressed. But the horns stayed on that car til he sold it nearly a decade later.
